The incorrect statement among the following is:
1. | Zirconium and Hofnium have identical radii of 160 pm and 159 pm, respectively, as a consequence of lanthanoid contraction. |
2. | Lanthanoids reveal only a +3 oxidation state. |
3. | Lanthanoid ions, other than the f0 type and the f14 type, are all paramagnetic. |
4. | The overall decrease in atomic and ionic radii from lanthanum to lutetium is called lanthanoid contraction. |
An example of the effect of the concentration of nitric acid on the formation of oxidation products would be:
1. 3Cu + 8HNO3(conc.) → 3Cu(NO3)2 + 2NO + 4H2O
2. Cu + 4HNO3 (conc.) → Cu(NO3)2 + 2NO2 + 2H2O
3. Both (1), and (2)
4. None of the above
Match the following characteristics to the appropriate metal:
Column I - Aspects | Column II - Metal | ||
(a) | The metal which reveals the maximum number of oxidation states | (i) | Scandium |
(b) | The metal although placed in 3d block is considered not as a transition element | (ii) | Copper |
(c) | The metal which does not exhibit variable oxidation states | (iii) | Manganese |
(d) | The metal which in +1 oxidation state in aqueous solution undergoes disproportionation | (iv) | Zinc |
Select the correct option :
(a) | (b) | (c) | (d) | |
1. | (i) | (iv) | (ii) | (iii) |
2. | (iii) | (iv) | (i) | (ii) |
3. | (iii) | (i) | (iv) | (ii) |
4. | (ii) | (iv) | (i) | (iii) |
Electronic configuration of a transition element X in +3 oxidation state is [Ar]3d5: Atomic number for the element X is :

An ements among the following that has the highest density is -
(1) Fe
(2) Ni
(3) Co
(4) Cu
Which compound exhibits colour in its solid state?
1. Ag2SO4
2. CuF2
3. ZnF2
4. Cu2Cl2
Among the following, which are amphoteric oxides?
1. V2O5, Cr2O3
2. Mn2O7, CrO3
3. CrO, V2O5
4. V2O5, V2O4
The correct value of the spin-only magnetic moment of ion is equal to:
1. | 2.87 BM | 2. | 3.87 BM |
3. | 3.47 BM | 4. | 3.57 BM |
Which of the following statements is false?
1. | Copper liberates hydrogen from acids. |
2. | In its higher oxidation states, manganese forms stable compounds with oxygen and fluorine. |
3. | Mn3+, and Co3+ are oxidizing agents in an aqueous solution. |
4. | Ti2+, and Cr2+ are reducing agents in an aqueous solution. |
Highest oxidation state of manganese in fluoride is +4 (Mn) but the highest oxidation state in oxides is +7 (Mn2O7). The reason is :
1. | Fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen. |
2. | Fluorine does not possess d orbitals. |
3. | Fluorine stabilizes lower oxidation state of Mn. |
4. | In covalent compounds, fluorine can only form a single bond while oxygen forms a double bond. |
