Select the set having incorrect statements given here.
(i) Manganese exhibits +7 oxidation state
(ii) Zinc forms coloured ions
(iii)is diamagnetic
(iv) Sc forms +4 oxidation state
(v) Zn exhibits only +2 oxidation state
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Outer electronic configuration of Mn iswhich means it can show +7 oxidation state also (correct)
Zinc does not form coloured ions as it has completely filledconfiguration.
Inis asystem. Fluoride is a weak field ligand and hence it can not cause pairing of electrons.
Sc can show a maximum of +3 oxidation state as it has an outer electronic configuration of.
Zn exhibits only +2 oxidation state as this oxidation state is the most stable one for it.
Hence (ii), (iii), (iv) are incorrect while (i), (v) are correct.
