much larger third ionisation energy of Mn

B

Much smaller third ionisation energy of Mn

C

`Mn^(3+)`is most stable

D

very low enthalpy of atomisation value of Mn among the `3d` series elements

Why is the E^(Theta) value for the Mn^(3+)//Mn^(2+) couple much more positive than that for Cr^(3+)//Cr^(2+) or Fe^(3+)//Fe^(2+)

(a) why is the E^(Theta) value for the Mn^(3+)//Mn^(2+) couple much more positivethan that for Cr^(3+)//Cr^(2+) or Fe^(3+) // Fe^(2+) ? Explain. (b) What is meant by 'disproportionation' of an oxidation state? Give example.

S_(1) : Mn^(2+) compounds more stable than Fe^(2+) towards oxidation to their +3 state. S_(2) : Titanium and copper both in the first series of transition metals exhibits +1 oxidation state most frequently. S_(3) : Cu^(+) ions is stable in aqueous solutions. S_(4) : The E^(0) value for the Mn^(3+)//Mn^(2+) couple much more positive than that for Cr^(3+)//Cr^(2+) or Fe^(3+)//Fe^(2+) ,

Why is the E^(Theta) value for the Mn^(3+)//Mn^(2+) couple much postive than for Cr^(3+)//Cr^(2+) or Fe^(3+)//Fe^(2+) ? Example

How would you account for the following? (i)The atomic radii of the metals of the third (5d) series of trasition elements are virtually the same as those of the corresponding members of the second (4d) series. (ii)The E^(@) value for the Mn^(3+)//Mn^(2+) couple is much more positive than that for Cr^(3+)//Cr^(2+) couple or Fe^(3+)//Fe^(2+) couple. (iii)The highest oxidation state of a metal is exhibited in itsoxide or fluoride.
