The electrons are excited by visible light between the two sets of d orbitals so any time that the solution of complex ions is in light, then they will be excited. If the solution is placed in the dark, is it coloured? No, because there is no light to excite the electrons. So basically any time the solution is in visible light the electrons are excited.

Excellent video sir 👌
Glad I could help.
Can you find the hybridization through counting the domains in SiO2 as well?
Yes
How do you know if it will be in its excited state?

thank you
Do you have a video about dsp3 and d2sp3 hybridization?
No, I don't as it isn't covered in the IB syllabus.
@@MSJChem okay, thanks.
Wooooww
3:20 wouldnt there be a bent molecular geometry for the sp2 hybridisation as well?
Yes, for example SO2 and ozone, O3.
