is blue when anhydrous, and a deep magneta colour when
hydrated, for this reason it is widely used as an indicator for water.
2%. (a) The absorption of energy or the obser*ation of colour in a complex transition compound
depends on the charge of the metal ion and the nature of the ligands attached. The same
metal ion with different ligands shows different absorption depending upon the type of
ligand. The presence of weak field ligands make the central metal ion to absorb low energies
i.e.# of higher wa*elength. The field strength of ligands can be obtained from
spectrochemical series. i.e.
