Which of the following has highest second ionization energy?
Ni
V
Cr
Mn
C.
Cr
Electronic configuration for chromium is :
24Cr 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d5 4s1
After ionisation of 4s electron the next electron which will be ionised is from 3d orbital. As 3d5 electronic configuration, is stable, hence, the second ionisation of Cr will require much greater ionisation energy than the expected one.
The electronic configuration of Cu is
[Ne] 3s2, 3p6, 3d9, 4s2
[Ne] 3s2, 3p6, 3d10, 4s1
[Ne] 3s2, 3p6, 3d3, 3d9, 4s2, 4p6
[Ne] 3s2, 3p6, 3d5, 4s2, 4p4
Assertion: Cuprous ion (Cu+) is colorless whereas cupric ion (Cu2+) is blue in the aqueous solution.
Reason: Cuprous ion (Cu+) has unpaired electrons while cupric ion (Cu2+) does not.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.
If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
If the assertion is true but the reason is false.
If both the assertion and reason are false.
The stable bivalency of Pb and trivalencey of Bi is:
due to d contraction in Pb and Bi
due to relativistic contraction of the 6s orbitals of Pb and Bi, leading to inert pair effect
due to screening effect
due to the attainment of noble liquid configuration
A magnetic moment of 1.73 BM will be shown by one among the following
