Identify the ion which is
(i) a strong reducing agent.
(ii) unstable in aqueous solution.
(iii) a strong oxidising agent.
Give suitable reason in each.
Solution:
(i) , because its configuration changes from to and having a half-filled level.
(ii) in an aqueous medium energy is required to remove one electron from to , high hydration energy of compensates for it. Therefore ion in an aqueous solution is unstable.
(iii) , because its configuration changes from to results in the half filled configuration, which has extra stability.
