Which ion is coloured Cu+ or Cu2+ ?
Cu in neutral state Z = 29
1S2 2S22P63S23P64S23d9
which rearranges as 1S2 2S22P63S23P64S13d10
Cu+ 1S2
2S22P63S23P64S0 3d10
Cu2+ is 1S2 2S22P63S23P64S0
3d9
Cu 2+ is coloured since d-d transition takes
place in Cu2+ which has 3d9 in its electronic configuration whereas Cu+ has completely filled d
orbital where such a transition is not possible.
