Yellow colour in sodium chloride is due to metal excess defect due to which unpaired electrons occupy anionic sites. These sites are called F-centres. These electrons absorb energy from the visible region for the excitation which makes crystal appear yellow.
Light green is the Colour of crystalline FeSO4.7H2O. Light green changes to reddish brown or brown upon heating.
(i) FeSO4.7H2O+heat → FeSO4+7H2O
(ii) 2FeSO4+heat → Fe2O3+SO2+SO3
He started the story of the tusker by giving a prologue in which he called elephants ‘huge well-fed beasts.’ He said that after escaping from the timber yard, the elephant...
FeSO4.7H2O is green in colour and loses water of crystallisation when it is heated.
It is then decomposed to Fe3O, (brown coloured), SO2 and SO3
FeSO4.7H2O + Heat→ FeSO4 + 7H2O
2FeSO4 (s)+Heat → FeSO4 +SO2(g) +SO3(g)
