Assertion (A) : Fe^(3+) (g) ion is more ...

Assertion (A) : `Fe^(3+)` (g) ion is more stable than `Fe^(2+)(g)` ion.
Reason (R) : `Fe^(3+)` ion has more number of unpaired electrons than `Fe^(2+)` ion.

A

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-2

B

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-2

C

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False

D

Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Correct explanation. `Fe^(3+)` is more stable than `Fe^(2+)` because the former has exactly half-filled d-orbitals
