Q36. The correct statements about Cr²⁺ and Mn³⁺ are:
(atomic number of Cr = 24 and Mn = 25)
(A) Cr²⁺

Q: What is the correct answer for CUET UG Chemistry Q36?

The correct answer is b. Cr (Z=24) is [Ar]3d⁵4s¹. Cr²⁺ is [Ar]3d⁴. Mn (Z=25) is [Ar]3d⁵4s². Mn³⁺ is [Ar]3d⁴.(A) Cr²⁺ is a reducing agent: True. Cr²⁺ (3d⁴) can be oxidized to Cr³⁺ (3d³), which is more stable. (The provided solution text states this is correct).(B) Mn³⁺ is an oxidising agent: True. Mn³⁺ (3d⁴) can be reduced to Mn²⁺ (3d⁵), which is highly stable (half-filled d-orbital). (The provided solution text states thi

(C) Both Cr²⁺ and Mn³⁺ exhibit d⁴ electronic configuration
(D) When Cr²⁺ is used as reducing agent chromium ion attains d⁵ electronic configuration
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

FirstInTest · Accepted Answer

Cr (Z=24) is [Ar]3d⁵4s¹. Cr²⁺ is [Ar]3d⁴. Mn (Z=25) is [Ar]3d⁵4s². Mn³⁺ is [Ar]3d⁴.(A) Cr²⁺ is a reducing agent: True. Cr²⁺ (3d⁴) can be oxidized to Cr³⁺ (3d³), which is more stable. (The provided solution text states this is correct).(B) Mn³⁺ is an oxidising agent: True. Mn³⁺ (3d⁴) can be reduced to Mn²⁺ (3d⁵), which is highly stable (half-filled d-orbital). (The provided solution text states this is correct).(C) Both Cr²⁺ and Mn³⁺ exhibit d⁴ electronic configuration: True. Cr²⁺ is 3d⁴ and Mn³⁺ is 3d⁴. (The provided solution text states this is correct).(D) When Cr²⁺ is used as reducing agent chromium ion attains d⁵ electronic configuration: False. As a reducing agent, Cr²⁺ (3d⁴) gets oxidized, typically to Cr³⁺ (3d³). (The provided solution text explicitly states this is incorrect, that it attains d3, not d5). However, the chosen answer option (b) includes (D) as correct. Due to this contradiction within the provided document, a fully consistent explanation supporting option (b) is problematic. If we strictly follow the given answer, it implies (B), (C), and (D) are correct statements according to the exam setter.
