Answer» Correct Answer - B `Mg^(3+)=[Ar]^(18)3d^(4),Cr^(+3)=[Ar]^(18)3d^(3),V^(3+)=[Ar]^(18)3d^(2),Ti^(3+)=[Ar]^(18)3d^(1)` `Cr^(3+)` is most stable in aqueous solution because it has half filled `t_(2g)^(3)` energy level of 3d orbitals I octahedral crystal field spliting and according to crystal field theory (CFT) it has highest value of ` CFSE` i.e., 1.2 `Delta_(O)`. |
