Answer the question on the basis of passage given below:
In the periodic table, the d-block contains the elements of group \(3\) to \(12\). The d-orbitals are progressively filled in each of the four long periods. The elements of d block referred as transition metals have partly filled d orbitals and exhibit certain characteristic properties such as variety of oxidation states, formation of coloured ions, act as catalyst and show paramagnetic behaviour.
The two inner transition metals series \(4f\) and \(5f\) are known as Lanthanoids and Actinoids respectively. The lanthanoids resemble one another more closely as compared to ordinary transition elements in any series.
The bonds present in the structure of dichromate ion are:

  1. A Six equivalent Cr-O bonds and one O-O bond
  2. B Six equivalent Cr-O bonds and one Cr-Cr bond
  3. C Eight equivalent Cr-O bonds
  4. D Six equivalent Cr-O bonds and one Cr-O-Cr bond
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Six equivalent Cr-O bonds and one Cr-O-Cr bond

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The dichromate ion \( \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} \) has two tetrahedral \( \text{CrO}_4 \) units sharing one oxygen atom. There are six terminal Cr-O bonds (three on each chromium atom). There is one oxygen atom bridging the two chromium atoms, forming a Cr-O-Cr linkage. The six…
