Why do Transition Metals Form Coloured Compounds?

Outlining why and how transition metal ions form coloured compounds. d-orbital splitting and electrons absorbing energy to go from their ground state to an excited state is explained, with examples given. White light and complimentary colours are linked to the colour of compounds.

Searched the entire internet for a proper perfect explanation didn't find one. This video is on point, I finally understand this complex concept. Wish I found this sooner. Thank you so very much

Now I conceptually understood why this happes, THANKS

Damn this was exactly what I wanted . Don’t stop making videos dude

then will the electron jump back from the high energy level to the low energy level? If yes, then I will still see that colour. If no, then there will be more and more electron in the high energy level? I don't understand about this. Can you please explain about it more? Thanks.

can u explain why Fe shows 3 plus ion, in case of Cu one electron goes from 4S to 3d, but in case of Fe it does not happen, then how it forms Fe 3 plus
