`Cr^(2+)` and `Mn^(3+)` both have `d^(4)` configuration. Thus

A

both are reducing agents.

B

both are oxidizing agents.

C

`Cr^(2+)` is an oxidizing agent while `Mn^(3+)` is a reducing agent.

D

`Mn^(3+)` is an oxidizing agent while `Cr^(2+)` is a reducing agent.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Extra stability is gained when `Mn^(3+)` is reduced to `Mn^(2+)` and is thus an oxidizing agent.

Why is Cr^(2+) reducing and Mn^(3+) oxidising when both have d^(4) configuration ?

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

Transition elements are 'd-block elements. (i) Write any four characteristic properties of transition elements, (ii) Cr^(2+) and Mn^(3+) have do configuration. But Cr^(3+) is reducing and Mn^(3+) is oxidising. Why?

Which of the following statement are correct about Cr^(2+) (Z = 24) and Mn^(3+) (Z = 25) ? (i) Cr^(2+) is a reducing agent (ii) Mn^(3+) is an oxidizing agent (iii) Both Cr^(2+) and Mn^(3+) exhibit d^(4) configuration (iv) When Cr^(2+) is used as a reducing agent, the chromium ion attains d^(5) electronic configuration

Four statement of Cr and Mn are given below. (P). Cr^(2+) and Mn^(3+) have the same electronic configuration. (Q). Cr^(2+) is a reducing agent while Mn^(3+) in an oxidizing agent. (S). Both Cr and Mn are oxidizing agent. The correct statement are:

The Cu^(2) having 3d^(9) congiguration, Cu^(+) having 3d^(10) configuration. The Cu^(2+) is ,
