NEET · Chemistry · STD 12 - 4. d and f- block elements

The \(\mathrm{E}^{\circ}\) value for the \(\mathrm{Mn}^{3 *} / \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}\) couple is more positive than that of \(\mathrm{Cr}^{3+} / \mathrm{Cr}^{2+}\) or \(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+} / \mathrm{Fe}^{2 *}\) due to change of

  1. A  \(d^5\) to \(d^2\) configuration
  2. B \(d^4\) to \(d^5\) configuration
  3. C  \(d^3\) to \(d^5\) configuration
  4. D  \(d^5\) to \(d^4\) configuration
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(d^4\) to \(d^5\) configuration

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Mn}^{3+} / \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}}^0>\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Cr}^{3+} / \mathrm{Cr}^{2+}}^0 \text { or } \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Fe}^{3+} / \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}}^0\) Electronic configuration of \(\mathrm{Mn}^{3+}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 d^4\)
