To define the d-d transition, first, we have to be familiar with the electronic structure of the d-block elements. The d-block elements are ones that have d-orbitals in addition to s and p nuclear orbitals. The occurrence of an electron on the d-orbital is a prerequisite for the origin of d-d type transitions. The d-d transition is an excitation of an electron from one d orbital to another d orbital. In a free metal, all the five d orbitals are degenerate (they are all of the same energy) but in a presence of ligands in the first coordination sphere, the d orbitals split into two sets of different energy making a way for an electron to promote from one set of orbitals to another.

why d-block elements elements are called as outer transition elements and f-block elements as inner transition elements?

The d-block elements are called transition metals and have valence electrons in d orbitals. The inner transition elements are those who have their last 3 shells incompletely filled. The f...

What transition in the hydrogen spectrum would have the same wavelength as the Balmer transition from n=4 of He+ spectrum. [Rh=109700cm^-1]

For Hydrogen Z=1, so we have that transitional energy is proportional to 1/1^2 - 1/2^2=3/4; for Helium Z=2, so the transitional energy is proportional to 2^2(1/2^2 - 1/4^2)=3/4. Hence, we...

Question #3 The n to pi star in acetone occur at longer wavelength than the pi to pi star transition, yet the latter transition has a much higher molar absorptivity. Explain.

This is because the lone pair interacts with the solvent such that the solvent align itself with ground state thus lowering energy at ground state and not at excited state.
