| Sep 24, 2023 at 7:29 | comment | added | porphyrin | As I mentioned the way we perceive is complex, a solid of the same substance may appear quiet different to its dilute solution hence the use of instruments to characterise. I have seen a 'color wheel' that helps one to understand absorption/reflection and what you actually see, you could search or possibly someone else has a reference. | |

| Sep 24, 2023 at 2:09 | comment | added | Razz | @Poutnik thank you , it seems the materials absorb a range of wavelengths which makes them recieve their characteristic colour | |
| Sep 24, 2023 at 2:08 | comment | added | Razz | @porphyrin oh okay , then we can say titanium complex is having stronger reflection of violet light and strong absorption of blue green and , for the cobalt complex strong absorption of blue green and stronger reflection of red ? | |
| Sep 23, 2023 at 14:25 | comment | added | porphyrin | When we see the colour, the way we perceive it is very complicated, it depends somehow on how much is absorbed vs reflected at many wavelengths. But, in practise to characterise molecules we use a spectrophotometer and measure exactly what the absorption is vs. wavelength. This enables us to work out where the energy levels in the molecule are. | |

Thin absorption lines are seen (almost(?)) exclusively for atomic absorption spectra in gaseous phase only. | |
