The set of correct statements is: (i) Manganese exhibits + 7...

The set of correct statements is:

(i) Manganese exhibits +7+ 7 oxidation state in its oxide.

(ii) Ruthenium and Osmium exhibit +8+ 8 oxidation in their oxides.

(iii) ScSc shows +4+ 4 oxidation state which is oxidizing in nature.

(iv) CrCr shows oxidising nature in +6+ 6 oxidation state.

Options

  1. A(ii) and (iii)
  2. B(i), (ii) and (iv)
  3. C(i) and (iii)
  4. D(ii), (iii) and (iv)

Correct answer

B. (i), (ii) and (iv)

Step-by-step solution

(i) The oxidation state of MnMn in oxide (Mn2O7{Mn}_{2}{O}_{7}) is:

Let us consider MnMn as xx.

⇒2x+7(−2)=0⇒ 2x + 7 ( - 2 ) = 0

⇒2x+(−14)=0⇒ 2x + ( - 14 ) = 0

⇒2x−14=0⇒ 2x - 14 = 0

⇒2x=14⇒ 2x = 14

⇒x=7⇒ x = 7

(ii) The oxidation state of Ruthenium in oxide (RuO4{RuO}_{4}) is:

Consider RuRu as xx.

⇒x+4(−2)=0⇒ x + 4 ( - 2 ) = 0

⇒x−8=0⇒ x - 8 = 0

⇒x=8⇒ x = 8

The oxidation state of Osmium in oxide (OsO4{OsO}_{4}) is:

Consider OsOs as xx.

⇒x+4(−2)=0⇒ x + 4 ( - 2 ) = 0

⇒x−8=0⇒ x - 8 = 0

⇒x=8⇒ x = 8

Hence, Ruthenium and Osmium has +7 oxidation state in its oxide.

(iii) ScSc has ns2(n−1)d1{ns}^{2} ( n - 1 ) {d}^{1} electronic configuration.

It utilizes two electrons from its nsns sub-shell then its oxidation state = +2. When it utilizes both the electrons then its oxidation state = +3.

(iv) In the modern periodic table, chromium metal is present in group 6. It is a transition metal and belongs to the first transition series. The atomic number of chromium is 24. Its electronic configuration is [Ar]3d54s1[ Ar ] 3{d}^{5}4{s}^{1}.

It has five electrons in the 3d sub-shell and one electron in the 4s sub-shell. Thus, chromium metal has six valence electrons. Chromium can lose some or all of its valence electrons to form ions with different oxidation states. Thus, chromium shows the oxidation states of +1, +2, +3, +4, +5, and +6 respectively.
The most common oxidation states of chromium are +2, +3, and +6.

So, the statement (i), (ii) and (iv) are correct.
