Select the set having incorrect statements given here.
(i) Manganese exhibits +7 oxidation state
(ii) Zinc forms coloured ions
(iii)[CoF6]3-is diamagnetic
(iv) Sc forms +4 oxidation state
(v) Zn exhibits only +2 oxidation state

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Outer electronic configuration of Mn is3d54s2which means it can show +7 oxidation state also (correct)
Zinc does not form coloured ions as it has completely filled3d104s2configuration.
In[CoF6]3-,Co3+is ad6system. 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 of3d14s2.
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.
