The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is incorrect, let's analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement:** Ti⁺⁴ and Ag⁺ are repelled by a magnetic field. - **Explanation:** Paramagnetic substances have unpaired electrons and are attracted to magnetic fields, while diamagnetic substances have all paired electrons and are repelled by magnetic fields. - **Ti⁺⁴:** Electronic configuration is [Ar] 3d⁰ (no unpaired electrons). - **Ag⁺:** Electronic configuration is [Kr] 4d¹⁰ (also no unpaired electrons). - **Conclusion:** Both Ti⁺⁴ and Ag⁺ have no unpaired electrons, so they are indeed repelled by a magnetic field. **This statement is true.** ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement:** Mn²⁺ shows maximum magnetic moment among the first transition series. - **Explanation:** The magnetic moment is related to the number of unpaired electrons. - **Mn²⁺:** Electronic configuration is [Ar] 3d⁵ 4s⁰ (five unpaired electrons). - **Conclusion:** Since Mn²⁺ has the maximum number of unpaired electrons (5), it indeed shows the maximum magnetic moment among the first transition series. **This statement is true.** ### Step 3: Analyze Statement 3 **Statement:** Fe²⁺ is more stable than Mn²⁺ towards oxidation to the +3 state. - **Explanation:** Stability towards oxidation can be assessed through electronic configurations. - **Fe²⁺:** Electronic configuration is [Ar] 3d⁶ 4s⁰. Upon losing one electron to become Fe³⁺, it becomes [Ar] 3d⁵, which is half-filled and stable. - **Mn²⁺:** Electronic configuration is [Ar] 3d⁵, which is already half-filled. Thus, it is less likely to lose an electron to form Mn³⁺. - **Conclusion:** Fe²⁺ is indeed more stable towards oxidation to Fe³⁺ than Mn²⁺ is towards Mn³⁺. **This statement is true.** ### Step 4: Analyze Statement 4 **Statement:** Cr in Cr₂O₇²⁻ is involved in sp³d² hybridization. - **Explanation:** To determine the hybridization, we need to look at the bonding and geometry. - **Cr₂O₇²⁻:** Each chromium atom forms four sigma bonds with oxygen atoms (three double bonds and one single bond). - **Hybridization:** The presence of four sigma bonds indicates that the hybridization is sp³ (not sp³d², which would indicate five bonds). - **Conclusion:** Therefore, the statement that Cr in Cr₂O₇²⁻ is involved in sp³d² hybridization is incorrect. **This statement is false.** ### Final Answer The incorrect statement is **Statement 4**. ---
