Which is not stable under ambient condition -

A

`Fe^(3+)`

B

`Mn^(2+)`

C

`Ti^(4+)`

D

`Cu^(+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Copper (I) compounds are unstable in aqueous solution and undergo disproportionation.
`2Cu^(+)rarr Cu^(2+)+Cu`
The greater stability of `Cu_((aq))^(2+)` than `Cu_((aq))^(+)` is due to much more `-ve Delta H_(hyd)` of `Cu_((aq))^(2+)` than `Cu_((aq))^(+)` which is compensates the second ionidation enthalpy of Cu.
