Assertion (A) `[Cr(H_(2)O_(6))]Cl_(2)` and `[Fe(H_(2)O)_(6)]Cl_(2)` are reducing in nature.
Reason (R) Unpaired electrons are present in their d-orbitals.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
Correct explanation. Cr is present as `Cr^(2+)` which can undergo oxidation to `Cr^(3+)` and Fe is present as `Fe^(2+)` which can undergo oxidation to `Fe^(3+)` (`H_(2)O` is a weak ligand in both).
