Among \(Fe^{2+}, Fe^{3+}, Cr^{2+}\) and \(Zn^{2+}\), the ion that shows positive borax bead test and with highest ionisation enthalpy is:

  1. A \(Fe^{2+}\)
  2. B \(Zn^{2+}\)
  3. C \(Cr^{2+}\)
  4. D \(Fe^{3+}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(Fe^{3+}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The borax bead test is given by transition metal ions that have unpaired electrons and form coloured compounds. \(Zn^{2+}\) has a completely filled \(3d^{10}\) configuration, making it colourless, so it does not give a positive borax bead test. The remaining ions and their…
