(a) What happens when (i) Manganate ions (MnO_(4)^(2-)) undergoes diSQProportionation reaction in acidic medium ? (ii) Lanthanum is heated with Sulphur? (b) Explain the following trends in the properties of the members of the First series of transition elements: (i) E^(@) (M^(2+)//M) value for copper is positive (+ 0.34 V) in contrast to the other members of the series. (ii) Cr^(2+) is reducing while Mn^(3+) is oxidising, though both have d^(4) configuration. (iii) The oxidising power in the series increases in the order VO_(2)^(+) lt Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-) lt MnO_94)^(-) .

Assertion : Cr^(2+) is reducing and Mn^(3+) is oxidising. Reason : Cr^(2+) and Mn^(3+) have d^4 configuration.

The ion Cr^(2+) is redusing agent while that of Mn^(3+) is an oxidising agent though both have 3d^(4) configuration. This is because

Assertion :- Cr^(+2) is a reducing agent and Mn^(+3) is oxidising agent. Reason :- Mn^(+3) has d^(5) configuration.

How would you account for the following: (i) Cr^(2+) is reducing in nature while with the same d-orbital configuration (d^(4)) Mn^(3+) is an oxidising agent (ii) In a transition series of metals, the metal which exhibits the greatest number of oxidation state occurs in the middle of the series.

How would you account for the following? (i) Cr^(2+) is reducing in nature while with the same d-orbital configuration (d^14) Mn^(3+) is an oxidising agent. (ii) In a transition series of metals, the metal which exhibits the greatest number of oxidation states occurs in the middle of the series. (iii) Metal-metal bonding is more frequent for the 4d and the 5d series of transition metals than for the 3d series.
