A certain first-row transition metal ion forms many different colored solutions. When four coordination compounds of this metal, each having the same coordination number, are dissolved in water, the colors of the solutions are red, yellow, green, and blue. Further experiments reveal that two of the complex ions are paramagnetic with four unpaired electrons and the other two are diamagnetic. What can be deduced from this information about the four coordination compounds

See explanation

Explanation:

From the analysis we have in the question, we must look towards a first row transition metal ion having a d^6 configuration because it yields a paramagnetic complex having four unpaired electrons and a diamagnetic complex having no unpaired electrons.

We have two possible candidates in mind, Fe^2+ and Co^3+. However, Fe^2+  does not form as many coloured complexes as stated in the question so we have to eliminate that option.

We are now left with only Co^3+. Various ligands are going to cause these various colours of Co^3+ to appear in solution.

Hence, we can deduce from all these that the nature of ligands determines the colour of the complex . Don't forget that the colour of a complex arises from crystal field splitting.

mechanics (greek   is that area of science concerned with the behaviour of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment. the scientific discipline has its origins in ancient greece with the writings of aristotle and archimedes[1][2][3] (see history of classical mechanics and timeline of classical mechanics). during the early modern period, scientists such as galileo, kepler, and newton laid the foundation for what is now known as classical mechanics. it is a branch of classical physics that deals with particles that are either at rest or are moving with velocities significantly less than the speed of light. it can also be defined as a branch of science which deals with the motion of and forces on objects. the field is yet less widely understood in terms of quantum theory.
