(Identify the incorrect statement)

  • Correct answer
    A
    Cu2O¯ is -1
  • B
    Cl¯O3- is +5
  • C
    KrCr2¯O7 is +6
  • D
    HAu¯Cl4 is +3

Solution

Ox. state of "O" in Cu2O=-2
Ox. state of "Cl" in ClO3-=+5
Ox. state of "Cr" in K2Cr2O7=+6
Ox. state of "Au" in HAuCl4=+3
∴ (1) is incorrect

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