For the explanation of colouration of complexes, first of all find out the number of unpaired electrons present in outer available d-obritals
(i) [Ti(NO­3)4] ; 22Ti4+ : [Ar] 3d0 4s0
(ii) [Cu(NC CH3)4]+ BF_{4}^{-}; 29Cu+ : [Ar] 3d10 4s0
(iii) [Cr(NH3)6]+3 3CI-; 24Cr3+ : [Ar] 3d3 4s0
(iv) K3 [VF6]; 23V+3 : [Ar] 3d2 4s0
