Zn gives H₂ gas with H₂SO₄ and HCl but not with HNO₃ because:
 

The basic character of the transition metal monoxides follows the order:
(Atomic nos. Ti = 22, V = 23, Cr = 24, Fe = 26)

Mn²⁺ compounds are more stable than Fe²⁺ compounds towards oxidation in their +3 state because :

The +2 oxidation state becomes more stable in the first half of the first-row transition elements with increasing atomic number because:
