Match the ions given in Column I with their characteristic properties given in Column II.
| S.No. | Column I | S.No. | Column II |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | \(Cr^{2+}\) | P | Stable in aqueous medium and has magnetic moment equal to 5.92 BM. |
| B | \(Cu^+\) | Q | Only stable oxidation state and does not act as reducing agent. |
| C | \(Mn^{2+}\) | R | Is a good reducing agent due to attainment of stable \(d^3\) configuration. |
| D | \(Sc^{3+}\) | S | Unstable in aqueous medium and readily disproportionates. |
- A \(\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{R} \quad \mathrm{B}=\mathrm{S}\) \(\quad \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{P}\) \(\quad \mathrm{D}=\mathrm{Q}\)
- B \(A=Q\) \(\quad B=P\) \(\quad \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{S}\) \(\quad D=R\)
- C \(A = S\) \(\quad B=R\) \(\quad \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{P}\) \(\quad D=Q\)
- D \(A=S\) \(\quad B=R\) \(\quad C=Q\) \(\quad \mathrm{D}=\mathrm{P}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{R} \quad \mathrm{B}=\mathrm{S}\) \(\quad \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{P}\) \(\quad \mathrm{D}=\mathrm{Q}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
For \(\mathrm{Cr}^{2+}\), the electronic configuration is \([Ar]3d^4\). It acts as a strong reducing agent because it gets oxidized to \(\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}\) (\([Ar]3d^3\)), which has a stable half-filled \(t_{2g}\) subshell in octahedral fields. Thus, A matches R. For…
