Vedclass · Answer

(A) . The $M^{3+}/M^{2+}$ reduction potential for $Mn$ $(+1.57 \ V)$ is greater than $Fe$ $(+0.77 \ V)$. Thus,statement $A$ is incorrect.$B$. Higher oxidation states of $d$-block elements are stabilized by electronegative elements like oxygen and fluorine. Thus,statement $B$ is correct.$C$. $Cr^{2+}$ is a strong reducing agent $(E^0_{Cr^{3+}/Cr^{2+}} = -0.41 \ V)$,so it can reduce $H^{+}$ to $H_2$. Thus,statement $C$ is correct.$D$. $V^{2+}$ has $3$ unpaired electrons ($d^3$ configuration). The magnetic moment is $\mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)} = \sqrt{3(5)} = \sqrt{15} \approx 3.87 \ BM$. Thus,statement $D$ is incorrect.Therefore,statements $B$ and $C$ are correct.
