Vedclass · Answer

(B) The colour of transition metal ion salts is due to $d-d$ transitions of unpaired electrons in the $d-$orbital. Metal ion salts having the same number of unpaired electrons in their $d-$orbitals exhibit similar colours in an aqueous medium.For $VOCl_2$,the metal ion is $V^{4+}$,which has the electronic configuration $[Ar] 3d^1$. It has $1$ unpaired electron.For $CuCl_2$,the metal ion is $Cu^{2+}$,which has the electronic configuration $[Ar] 3d^9$. It also has $1$ unpaired electron.Since both $V^{4+}$ and $Cu^{2+}$ have $1$ unpaired electron,they are expected to show similar colours.

Atom/Ion	Electronic Configuration
$(1) \ Cu$	$(A) 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^2, 3p^6, 3d^{10}$
$(2) \ Cu^{2+}$	$(B) 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^2, 3p^6, 3d^{10}, 4s^2$
$(3) \ Zn^{2+}$	$(C) 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^2, 3p^6, 3d^{10}, 4s^1$
$(4) \ Cr^{3+}$	$(D) 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^2, 3p^6, 3d^9$
	$(E) 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^2, 3p^6, 3d^3$
