In aqueous solution, Cr²⁺ is a stronger reducing agent than Fe²⁺. This is because

• Cr²⁺  ion is more stable than Fe²⁺

• Cr³⁺ ion with d³ configuration has favourable crystal field stabilisation energy

• Cr³⁺ has half filled configuration and hence more stable

• Fe³⁺ in aqueous solution is more stable than Cr³⁺
