Q73 / 180 · NEET 2020 (Phase 1) · Chemistry

Identify the incorrect statement.

  • A
    The transition metals and their compounds are known for their catalytic activity due to their ability to adopt multiple oxidation states and to form complexes.
  • B
    Interstitial compounds are those that are formed when small atoms like H,C or N are trapped inside the crystal lattices of metals.
  • Correct answer
    C
    The oxidation states of chromium in CrO42− and Cr2O72− are not the same.
  • D
    Cr2+d4 is a stronger reducing agent than Fe2++d6 in water.

Solution

Chromate CrO4-2⇒ oxidation state =+6
dichromate Cr2O7-2⇒ =+6 oxidation state are same.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
