Which of the following does not represent property stated against it?

  1. A \(\mathrm{CO}^{2+} < \mathrm{Fe}^{2+} < \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}\) - Ionic size
  2. B \(\mathrm{Ti} < \mathrm{V} < \mathrm{Mn}-\) Number of oxidation states
  3. C \(\mathrm{Cr}^{2+} < \mathrm{Mn}^{2+} < \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\) - Paramagnetic behaviour
  4. D \(\mathrm{Sc}>\mathrm{Cr}>\mathrm{Fe}\) - Density
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{Cr}^{2+} < \mathrm{Mn}^{2+} < \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\) - Paramagnetic behaviour

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The property stated against option (c) is incorrect.
The electronic configuration of given elements (ions) are



It is clear from above electronic configuration that \(\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}\) has maximum number of unpaired electrons (5).
\(\therefore\) It shown maximum paramagnetic behaviours among the given ions.
