what is meant by d-d transition ?

Dear Student

In the transition metal ions the electrons can be promoted from one energy level to other energy level in the same d-subshell.this phenomenon is called d-d-transition.by this property only transition elements shows colour.
e.g - t2g to eg transition. or eg to t2g transition

In a d–d transition, an electron in a d-orbital on the metal is excited by a photon to another d-orbital of higher energy. In complexes of the transition metals, the d-orbitals do not all have the same energy.
