Q. No.
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. |
HCl is not used to make the medium acidic in oxidation reaction of , because
| 1. | Both HCl and KMnO4 act as oxidising agents. |
| 2. | KMnO4 oxidises HCl into Cl2, which is also an oxidising agent. |
| 3. | KMnO4 is a weaker oxidising agent than HCl. |
| 4. | KMnO 4 acts as a reducing agent in the presence of HCl. |
Which of the following compounds cannot act as an oxidising agent?
| 1. | \(\mathrm{CrO}_3 \) | 2. | \(\mathrm{CrO}_4^{2-} \) |
| 3. | \(\mathrm{WO}_3\) | 4. | Both 1 and 2 |

| C. | M in M(CO)6 is | 3. | Cu |
| D. | Element with the highest heat of atomisation | 4. | Zn |
| A | B | C | D | |
| 1. | 3 | 4 | 1 | 2 |
| 2. | 3 | 4 | 2 | 1 |
| 3. | 1 | 2 | 4 | 3 |

The oxidation state that cerium (Ce) most commonly exhibits are:
1. +2, +3
2. +2, +4
3. +3, +4

The correct order of decreasing second ionization enthalpy of Ti(22), V(23), Cr (24) and Mn(25) is :
1. Cr > Mn > V > Ti
2. V > Mn > Cr > Ti
3. Mn > Cr > Ti > V
4. Ti > V > Cr > Mn
