(i) One of its ore is rich in `M_2O_3`.
(ii) `M_2O_3` is not affected by water.
(iii) It corrodes easily.
(iv) It forms two chlorides `MCl_2 and MCl_3`. Identify 'M'

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As the metal M forms oxide `M_2O_3` it is trivalent. Out of the metals listed, only Fe and Al are trivalent.
`M_2O_3` is not affected by water, so M can be out of Fe or Al.
Fe and Al both corrode easily.
Out of Al and Fe, only Fe can be form divalent chloride, so the element M is Fe.
