For the same transition metal ion, the colour of its compounds will depend upon:

• temperature of the reaction

• pressure of the reaction

• nature of ligands or Lewis bases attached to the metal ion

• concentration of the ligands

The 3^rd transitional series contain elements having atomic numbers from:

• 21 to 29

• 21 to 30

• 20 to 30

• 21 to 31

613.

The transition metals mostly are

• paramagnetic

• diamagnetic

• both 'a' and 'b'

• neither diamagnetic nor paramagnetic

Among the oxides, Mn₂O₇ (I) , V₂O₃ (II) , V₂O₅ (III) , CrO (IV) , Cr₂O₃ (V) the basic oxides are :

• I and II

• II and III

• III and IV

• II and IV

The oxygen carrying pigment , oxyhaemocyanin containing two copper ions is diamagnetic , because :

• the two copper ions are in + 1oxidation state

• one copper ion is in + 1oxidation state while other is in + 2 oxidation state

• of the strong antiferromagnetic interactions between two copper ions

• of the ferromagnetic interactions between the two copper ions

Which is not true statement ?
