Which of the following arrangements does not represent the correct order of the property stated against it?
Multiple Choice Options
- A Ni2+ < Co2+ < Fe2+ < Mn2+ : ionic size
- B Co3+ < Fe3+ < Cr3+ < Sc3+ : stability in aqueous solution
- C Sc < Ti < Cr < Mn : number of oxidation states
- D V2+ < Cr2+ < Mn2+ < Fe2+ : paramagnetic behaviour
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
(1)
hence the correct order of paramagnetic behaviour
{V^{2 + }} < Cr{}^{2 + } = F{e^{2 + }} < M{n^{2 + }}
(2)
For the same oxidation state, the-ionic radii generally -creases as the atomic number increases in a particular transition series.
Hence the order is
M{n^{ + + }} > F{e^{ + + }} > C{o^{ + + }} > N{i^{ + + }}
(3)
In solution, the stability of the compounds depends upon electrode potentials, of the transitions metal ions are given as
is highly stable as it does not show
(4)
i.e.\,Sc < Ti < Cr = Mn
| V = 3d34s2 | V2+ = 3d3 | = 3 unpaired electron |
|---|---|---|
| Cr = 3d54s1 | Cr2+ = 3d4 | = 4 unpaired electron |
| Mn = 3d54s2 | Mn2+ = 3d5 | = 5 unpaired electron |
| Fe = 3d64s2 | Fe2+ = 3d6 | = 4 unpaired electron |
hence the correct order of paramagnetic behaviour
{V^{2 + }} < Cr{}^{2 + } = F{e^{2 + }} < M{n^{2 + }}
