Q37 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2021 (19 Aug Shift 2) · Chemistry
Which of the following statement is not correct?
- Aredox couple has less positive electron potential than couple
- Correct answerBis a strong oxidizing agent but is not
- CThe second and third series of transition elements have almost similar atomic radii
- DThe value for couple is much more positive than for couple
Solution
We know that they are oxyanions of chromium in the oxidation state and are moderately strong oxidizing agents. In an aqueous solution, chromate and dichromate ions can be interconvertible.
whereas is not strong oxidising agent because it's highest oxidation state is .
If the oxidation state of an element increases, its electronegativity also increases. And this is why, permanganate is a strong oxidizing agent. For example, ion has an oxidation state of in permanganate anion which is why it is highly electronegative in nature.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
