Which of the following statements are INCORRECT?

A. All the transition metals except scandium form MOMO oxides which are ionic.
B. The highest oxidation number corresponding to the group number in transition metal oxides is attained in Sc2O3{Sc}_{2}{O}_{3} to Mn2O7{Mn}_{2}{O}_{7} .
C. Basic character increases from V2O3toV2O4toV2O5{V}_{2}{O}_{3}to{V}_{2}{O}_{4}to{V}_{2}{O}_{5}.
D. V2O4{V}_{2}{O}_{4} dissolves in acids to give VO4−3{VO}_{4}^{- 3} salts.
E. CrOCrO is basic but Cr2O3{Cr}_{2}{O}_{3} is amphoteric.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. AB and C only
  2. BA and E only
  3. CB and D only
  4. DC and D only

Correct answer

D. C and D only

Step-by-step solution

Lower oxidation state oxides are ionic. The highest oxidation number in the oxides, coincides with the group number and is attained in Sc2O3{Sc}_{2}{O}_{3} to Mn2O7{Mn}_{2}{O}_{7}. The structure of V2O5{V}_{2}{O}_{5} is more covalent than that of V2O3{V}_{2}{O}_{3} and V2O4{V}_{2}{O}_{4}, which makes it more acidic. As a result, the basicity of V2O5{V}_{2}{O}_{5} is greater than that of V2O4{V}_{2}{O}_{4}, which is in turn greater than that of V2O3{V}_{2}{O}_{3}.

Here in option C they have gien the increasing order of acidic character. So Option C is wrong.

V2O4{V}_{2}{O}_{4} dissolves in acids to give VO2+{{VO}_{2}}^{+} not in VO4−3{VO}_{4}^{- 3} salts. So Option D is also wrong. Lower oxides are basic oxides and all chromium oxides other than CrOCrO are amphoteric oxides.
