Answer:
Zn2+ is colourless
Explanation:
We know that transition metal salts are usually coloured due to the possibility of d-d transition.
This d-d transition can only occur when there are vacant d-orbitals. The electronic configuration [Ar] 4s23d8 suggests the presence of vacant d-orbitals and the possibility of the compounds of Zn2+ being coloured.
However, the absence of colours in Zn2+ compounds shows that there is no d-d transition(electronic) spectra observed for Zn2+ because the d orbitals are completely filled. This means that the correct electronic configuration of the ion is [Ar] 3d10.
