Given below are two statements : Statement I : CrO ₃ is a stronger oxidizing agent than MoO ₃ Statement II : Cr ( VI ) is more stable than Mo ( VI ) In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
Options
- AStatement I is false but Statement II is true
- BStatement I is true but Statement II is false
- CBoth Statement I and Statement II are true
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
Correct answer
B. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Step-by-step solution
Statement-I is true but statement II is false. Cr ( VI ) is less stable than Mo ( VI ) Hence, CrO ₃ easily reduce into Cr ⁺³ as compared to MoO ₃ and show stronger oxidizing nature.
