Q1 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (08 Apr Shift 1) · Chemistry

In chromyl chloride, the number of d-electrons present on chromium is same as in (Given at no. of Ti : 22, V : 23, Cr : 24, Mn : 25, Fe : 26)

  • A
    V (IV)
  • Correct answer
    B
     Mn (VII)
  • C
     Fe (III)
  • D
    Ti (III)

Solution

In chromyl chloride (CrO2Cl2), the oxidation state of chromium (Cr) is +6.

So, Cr (VI) = [Ar]18 3d0

For the given elements the configuration is,Mn(VII) = [Ar]18 3d0

Fe(III) = [Ar]18 3d5

Ti(III) = [Ar]18 3d1

V(IV) = [Ar]18 3d1

So among the given options Mn(VII) and Cr (VI) will have same number of d-electrons.

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