Question : 13 of 13
Marks:
+1,
-0
SECTION - D
(a) Write the number of unpaired electrons in . (Atomic number of )
(b) Complete the reaction mentioning all the products formed:
(c) Account for the following:
(i) is more stable than towards oxidation to +3 state.
(ii) Copper has exceptionally positive value.
(iii) with electronic configuration is a strong reducing agent.
Solution:
(a) Ground state structure
There are four unpaired electrons present in .
(b)
(c) (i) Electronic configuration-
Mn = after loosing 2 electron orbital is half filled and is stable.
loosing three electrons orbitals is half filled and more stable. That's why, is stable at +3 oxidation state and is stable in +2 oxidation state.
(ii) value of copper is +ve i.e, . This is due to presence of high enthalpy of atomization and low enthalpy of hydrogen which make it exceptionally positive.
(iii) Electronic configuration of
It has the tendency to loose two electron and attain a stable half filled configuration. So, it oxidized by loosing 2 electrons and reduce to other species.
