Mark the correct statements (s).
(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:
D
Solution:

Outer electronic configuration of Mn is3d54s2which means it exhibits +7 oxidation state
Zinc does not form coloured ions as it has completely filled3d104s2configuration.
In[CoF6]3-,Co3+is ad7system. Fluoride is a weak field ligand and hence it can not cause pairing of electrons.

Sc can form a maximum of +3 oxidation state as it has an outer electronic configuration of3d14s2.
Zn exhibits only +2 oxidation state as this O.S. is the most stable one for it.
Hence i, v are correct while ii,iii,iv are incorrect.
