(A) \(Cr ^{2+}\) is a reducing agent
(B) \(Mn ^{3+}\) is an oxidising agent
(C) Both \(Cr ^{2+}\) and \(Mn ^{3+}\) exhibit \(d^4\) electronic configuration
(D) When \(Cr ^{2+}\) is used as reducing agent chromium ion attains \(d^5\) electronic configuration Choose the \(\backslash\) textbf\{correct\} answer from the options given below :

  1. A (B), (D) and (A) only
  2. B (A), (B), (C) only
  3. C (C), (D), (A) only

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (A), (B), (C) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Cr\): \([Ar]3d^54s^1\) \(Cr^{2+}\): \([Ar]3d^4\) \(Mn\): \([Ar]3d^54s^2\) \(Mn^{3+}\): \([Ar]3d^4\) Statement (C) is correct: Both \(Cr ^{2+}\) and \(Mn ^{3+}\) exhibit \(d^4\) electronic configuration. \(Cr^{2+}\) (\(d^4\)) loses an electron to form \(Cr^{3+}\) (\(d^3\)),…
