Number of electrons present in $4f$ orbital of $Ho^{3+}$ ion is $.....$
(Given Atomic No. of $Ho=67$)

Which of the following pairs of elements cannot form an alloy?

For $M^{2+} / M$ and $M^{3+} / M^{2+}$ systems,the ${E^{\Theta}}$ values for some metals are as follows:
$Cr^{2+} / Cr : -0.9 \ V$
$Cr^{3+} / Cr^{2+} : -0.4 \ V$
$Mn^{2+} / Mn : -1.2 \ V$
$Mn^{3+} / Mn^{2+} : +1.5 \ V$
$Fe^{2+} / Fe : -0.4 \ V$
$Fe^{3+} / Fe^{2+} : +0.8 \ V$
Use this data to comment upon:
$(i)$ The stability of $Fe^{3+}$ in acid solution as compared to that of $Cr^{3+}$ or $Mn^{3+}$ and
$(ii)$ The ease with which iron can be oxidised as compared to a similar process for either chromium or manganese metal.

Which one of the following characteristics of the transition metals is associated with their catalytic activity?

$A$ copper salt is isomorphic with $ZnSO_4$. The salt will be:

Determine whether the following statements are True $(T)$ or False $(F)$:
$(a)$ An element or its ion that does not have a completely filled $d$-orbital is considered a transition element.
$(b)$ $Sc$ is a transition element.
$(c)$ $Zn$ is a transition element.
$(d)$ The energy difference between $(n-1)d$ and $ns$ orbitals is high.
