What is the reason for the comparatively low Eo value of V?
Options
- AThe removal of an electron from the stable d10 configuration of V2+
- BThe stability of V3+ with a noble gas configuration
- CThe half-filled t 2g level of V2+
- DThe removal of an electron from the d5 configuration of V2+
Correct answer
C. The half-filled t 2g level of V2+
Step-by-step solution
The comparatively low Eo value for V is related to the stability of V2+ (half-filled t 2g level).
