Which of the following statements is correct?A. The lesser number of oxidation states in 3d-series in the begin inning of the series is due to the presence of too few electrons to loose or shareB. The lesser number of oxidation states in 3d-series towards the end of the series is due to the presence of too many electrons and thus fewer orbitals to share electrons with the ligands.C. A and B bothD. None is correct

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The lesser number of oxidation states in the beginning of series can be due to the presence of smaller number of electrons to lose or share (Sc,Ti). On the other hand, at the extreme right hadn side and (Cu,Zn), lesser number of oxidation state is due to large number of d electrons so that only a fewer orbitals are available in which the electron can share with other for higher valence.

Which of the following increasing order of oxidising power is correct for the following species? `VO_(2)^(+),MnO_(4)^(-),Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)`A. `VO_(2^(+)) lt Cr_(2)O_(7^(2))`B. `VO_(2^(+)) lt MnO_(4) lt Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)`C. `Cr_(2)O_(7^(2)) lt MnO_(4)`D. `Cr_(2)O_(7^(2-)) lt MnO_(4^(-)) lt VO_(2^(+))`.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
This is attributed to the increasing stability of the lower species to which they are reduced.
`MnO_(4)` is reduced to `Mn^(2+)` which has stable half filled valence shell electron configuration `[3d^(5)].Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)` is reduced to` Cr^(3+)` which has half filled `t_(2g)^(3)` energy level of 3d orbitals in octahedral crystal field spliting.
`VO_(2^(+))` is reduced to `V^(3+)` which has electronic configuration `[Ar]^(18)3d^(2)4s^(0)`
so the order of increasing stability of the reduced species is `Mn^(2+) gt Cr^(3+) gt V^(3+)` and, therefore, the increasing order of oxidising power is `VO_(2^(+)) lt Cr_(2)O_(7^(2-)) lt MnO_(4^(-))`.

In all three compounds, the chromium is in +6 oxidation stateB. [Z] is a deep blueu-violet coloured compound which decomposes rapidly in aqueous solution into `Cr^(3+)` and dioxygen.C. Saturated solution of [Y] gives bright orange compound, chromic anhydride, with cold and concentrated `H_(2)SO_(4)`.D. All of these.

Answer» Correct Answer - D

When `KMnO_4` is added to oxalic acid, the decolourisation is slow in the beginning but becomes instantaneous after sometime becauseA. `Mn^(2+)` acts as autocatalystB. `CO_(2)` is formed as productC. Reaction is exothermicD. `MnO_(4)^(-)` catalyses the reaction

Pick out the incorrect statementA. `MnO_(2)` dissolves in dilute HCl. But does not form `Mn^(4+)`B. MnO2 oxidises hot concentrated `H_(2)SO_(4)` liberating oxygenC. `K_(2)MnO_(4)` is formed when `MnO_(2)` is fused with KOH in presence of `KNO_(3)`D. Decomposition of `KMnO_(4)` is not catalysed by sunlight
