Given below are certain basic radicals. Based on inorganic qualitative analysis, arrange them in increasing order of their group number.
A. Zn2+\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}
B. Sr2+\mathrm{Sr}^{2+}
C. As3+\mathrm{As}^{3+}
D. NH4+\mathrm{NH_4}^{+}
E. Cr3+\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}
Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Options

  1. AC, D, E, A, B
  2. BD, C, E, A, B
  3. CB, A, E, C, D
  4. DD, C, A, E, B

Correct answer

B. D, C, E, A, B

Step-by-step solution

In inorganic qualitative analysis, the basic radicals are classified into different groups based on their precipitation reactions.

The group assignments for the given radicals are:
NH4+\mathrm{NH_4}^{+} belongs to Group 0.
As3+\mathrm{As}^{3+} belongs to Group II.
Cr3+\mathrm{Cr}^{3+} belongs to Group III.
Zn2+\mathrm{Zn}^{2+} belongs to Group IV.
Sr2+\mathrm{Sr}^{2+} belongs to Group V.

Arranging them in increasing order of their group numbers, we get Group 0 < Group II < Group III < Group IV < Group V.

This corresponds to the sequence D, C, E, A, B.

Answer: D, C, E, A, B
