Interpretation: The zinc has only one oxidation state and zinc does not form colored ions, the reasons to be interpreted.
Concept Introduction:
Crystal field splitting: The energy gap between the splitting of d-orbitals of the metal ion in presence of ligands is known as the crystal field splitting
Reaction of coordination compounds: Complex ion undergoes ligand exchange (or substitution) reactions in solution. The
