What is the reason for the comparatively low Eo value of V?

Options

  1. AThe removal of an electron from the stable d10 configuration of V2+
  2. BThe stability of V3+ with a noble gas configuration
  3. CThe half-filled t 2g level of V2+
  4. 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).
