49.How would you account for the increasing oxidising power in the series VO2+< Cr2O72– < MnO4–?
50.The ionisation enthalpies of Cr and Cu are larger than their neighbours. Why?
Electronic configuration of Cr is 4s1 3d5 and the electronic configuration of Cu is 3d10 4s1. Since both are stable due to having half filled or fully filled orbital thus Cr and Cu show higher ionisation enthalpies than their neighbours.
