Which of the following compounds is metallic and ferromagnetic?
A
$$V{O_2}$$
B
$$Mn{O_2}$$
C
$$Ti{O_2}$$
D
$$Cr{O_2}$$
Answer :
$$Cr{O_2}$$
Out of all the four given metallic oxides $$Cr{O_2}$$ is attracted by magnetic field very strongly. The effect persists even when the magnetic field is removed. Thus $$Cr{O_2}$$ is metallic and ferromagnetic in nature.

223.
When $$Mn{O_2}$$ is fused with $$KOH,$$ a coloured compound is formed, the product and its colour is:
A
$${K_2}Mn{O_4},\,{\text{purple}}\,{\text{green}}$$
Stable oxidation state of $$Mn$$ in alkaline medium is$${{ + 6}}{{.}}$$
So, $$Mn{O_2}$$ is oxidised to $${K_2}Mn{O_4}$$ (purple green) by atmospheric oxygen in $$KOH$$ medium.
$$2Mn{O_2} + 4KOH + {O_2} \to \mathop {2{K_2}Mn{O_4}}\limits_{\left( {{\text{Purple}}} \right)} + 2{H_2}O$$
224.

C
An element of first transition series with lowest enthalpy of atomisation - $$Zn.$$
D
Last element of third transition series - $$Cd.$$
Answer :
Last element of third transition series - $$Cd.$$
$$Hg$$ is the last element of third transition series.
225.
The aqueous solution containing which one of the following ions will be colourless?
$$\left( {{\text{At}}{\text{. no}}{\text{.}}\,Sc = 21,Fe = 26,} \right.$$ $$\left. {Ti = 22,Mn = 25} \right)$$
A
$$S{c^{3 + }}$$
B
$$F{e^{2 + }}$$
C
$$T{i^{3 + }}$$
D
$$M{n^{2 + }}$$
Answer :
$$S{c^{3 + }}$$
$${}_{21}Sc = 1{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^2}3{p^6}3{d^1},4{s^2}$$
$$So,\,\,S{c^{3 + }} = 1{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^2}3{p^6}$$
( It is colourless due to the absence of unpaired electrons in $$d$$ sub-shell )
$${}_{26}Fe = 1{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^2}3{p^6}3{d^6},4{s^2}$$
$$F{e^{2 + }} = 1{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^2}3{p^6}3{d^6}$$
( It is coloured due to the presence of four unpaired electrons in $$d$$ sub-shell )
$${}_{22}Ti = 1{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^2}3{p^6}3{d^2},4{s^2}$$
$$T{i^{3 + }} = 1{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^2}3{p^6}3{d^1}$$
( It is coloured due to the presence of an unpaired electron in $$d$$ sub-shell )
$${}_{25}Mn = 1{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^2}3{p^6}3{d^5},4{s^2}$$
$$M{n^{2 + }} = 1{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^2}3{p^6}3{d^5}$$
( It is coloured due to the presence of five unpaired electrons in $$d$$ sub-shell )
226.
Which of the following oxidation state is common for all lanthanoids?
A
+ 2
B
+ 3
C
+ 4
D
+ 5
Answer :
+ 3
No explanation is given for this question. Let's discuss the answer together.
227.
Among the lanthanides, the one obtained by synthetic method is
A
$$Lu$$
B
$$Pm$$
C
$$Pr $$
D
$$Gd$$
Answer :
$$Pm$$
Promethium $$(Pm)$$ is the element which is prepared only by synthetic methods. It is not present in nature. It is the only synthetic radioactive lanthanoid.
228.
Which one of the following forms a colourless solution in aqueous medium?
$$\left( {{\text{At}}{\text{. no}}{\text{.}}\,\,Sc = 21,Ti = 22,} \right.$$ $$\left. {V = 23,Cr = 24} \right)$$
A
$${V^{3 + }}$$
B
$$C{r^{3 + }}$$
C
$$T{i^{3 + }}$$
D
$$S{c^{3 + }}$$
Answer :
$$S{c^{3 + }}$$
The electronic configuration of $$Sc$$ is
$$1{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^2}3{p^6}3{d^1},4{s^2}$$
and configuration of $$S{c^{3 + }}$$ is
$$1{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^2}3{p^6}$$
So, $$S{c^{3 + }}$$ is colourless due to absence of electrons in $$d$$-orbital.
229.
Which of the following catalysts is not correctly matched with the reaction?
A
Vanadium $$(V)$$ oxide in contact process for oxidation of $$S{O_2}$$ to $$S{O_3}.$$
B
Finely divided iron in Haber's process in conversion of $${N_2}$$ and $${H_2}$$ to $$N{H_3}.$$
C
$$PtC{l_2}$$ catalyses the oxidation of ethyne to ethanal in the Wacker process.
D
$$Ni$$ in presence of hydrogen for conversion of vegetable oil to ghee.
Answer :
$$PtC{l_2}$$ catalyses the oxidation of ethyne to ethanal in the Wacker process.
In the Wacker process, the oxidation of ethyne to ethanal is catalysed by $$PdC{l_2}.$$

Cuprous ion is colourless while cupric ion is coloured because
A
both have half filled $$p$$ - and $$d$$ - orbitals.
B
cuprous ion has incomplete $$d$$ - orbital and cupric ion has a complete $$d$$ - orbital.
C
both have unpaired electrons in the $$d$$ - orbitals.
D
cuprous ion has complete $$d$$ - orbital and cupric ion has an incomplete $$d$$ - orbital.
Answer :
cuprous ion has complete $$d$$ - orbital and cupric ion has an incomplete $$d$$ - orbital.
In $$C{u^ + }\left[ {Ar} \right]3{d^{10}}$$ there is no unpaired electron, $$C{u^{2 + }}\left[ {Ar} \right]3{d^9}$$ contains one unpaired electron hence coloured.
