Question

Which of the following compounds are coloured due to charge transfer?
KMnO4, K2Cr2O4,K2CrO4, CrO2Cl2, HgI2, BiI3, PbI2

Solution

Mn+7,and Cr+6 have no d electrons and hence there is no d-d transition. But the color of the complexes is due to ligand to metal charge transfer.

HgI2, BiI3 and PbI2 are also colored due to ligand metal charge transfer . Here, I has greater tendency to donate electrons tofacilitate charge transfer.
