CHXII08:THE D- & F-BLOCK ELEMENTS

321551 \(\mathrm{\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}}\) compounds are more stable than \(\mathrm{\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}}\) compounds towards oxidation to their +3 state, because

1 \(\mathrm{\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}}\) is more stable with high \(\mathrm{3^{\text {rd }}}\) ionisation energy
2 \(\mathrm{\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}}\) is bigger in size
3 \(\mathrm{\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}}\) has completely filled d-orbitals
4 \(\mathrm{\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}}\) does not exist.
CHXII08:THE D- & F-BLOCK ELEMENTS

321552 Strong reducing and oxidizing agents among the following, respectively are

CHXII08:THE D- & F-BLOCK ELEMENTS

321553 Although fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen, but the ability of oxygen to stabilise higher oxidation states exceeds that of fluorine because

1 Fluorine has the highest oxidising power
2 Oxygen has lower oxidising power
3 Ability of oxygen to form multiple bonds to metals
4 All the above

2 \(\mathrm{\mathrm{Mn}^{3+}}\) and \(\mathrm{\mathrm{Co}^{3+}}\) are oxidising agents in aqueous solution.
3 Metals in highest oxidation states are more stable in oxides than in fluorides.
4 All elements of \({\rm{3d}}\) series exhibit variable oxidation states.
