1.Electronic configuration of Mn is 3d5, 4s2 and hence, it exhibits + 7 oxidation state.
2. Zinc does not form coloured ions as it has completely filled 3d10, 4s2 configuration.
3. In [CoF6]3- fluoride is a weak field ligand and hence, does not cause pairing of electrons in d7 system of Co3+. Thus, the complex is paramagnetic.
Electronic configuration of Co3+ is
4. Sc has outer configuration of 3d1 4s2 , hence it can form a maximum of + 3 oxidation state.
5. Zn exhibits only+ 2 oxidation state as in this it is the most stable.
Pick out the correct statements from the following
1.Cobalt (III) is more stable in octahedral complexes.
2. Zinc forms coloured ions or complexes.
3. Most of the d-block elements and their compounds are ferromagnetic.
4. Osmium shows (VIII) oxidation state.
5. Cobalt (II) is more stable in octahedral complex.
