An element among the following that exhibits the maximum oxidation state is:
1. Cr
2. Mn
3. Fe
4. V
Mn2+ compounds are more stable than Fe2+ compounds towards oxidation in their +3 state because :
1. | 3d5 configuration is more stable than 3d6 configuration. |
2. | 3d6 configuration is more stable than 3d5 configuration. |
3. | 3p5 configuration is less stable than 3p6 configuration. |
4. | 3p6 configuration is less stable than 3p5 configuration. |
The oxo metal anions of the 3d series in which the metal exhibits an oxidation state equal to its group number is /are -
1. | 2. | ||
3. | 4. | All of these |
1. | \((n-1) d^{1-10} n s^{0-2} \) | 2. | \((n-1) d^{1-10} n s^2 \) |
3. | \(n f^2~ n p^{1-6} \) | 4. | \(n d^2~ n p^{1-6}\) |

The correct statement regarding the element silver(Ag) is:
1. | It is a hard metal. |
2. | It is not a transition element. |
3. | It has a partially filled d orbital in a +2 oxidation state. Thus, it is a transition element. |
4. | None of the above |
The enthalpy of atomization of transition metals is high due to :
1. High effective nuclear charge
2. A large number of valence electrons
3. Very strong metallic bonds
4. All of the above
The transition metals generally form coloured compounds due to :
1. | Absorption of radiation to promote an electron . |
2. | Presence of ligands, the d-orbitals split up into two sets of orbitals. |
3. | Energy required to promote an electron in d subshell is low. |
4. | All of the above. |
Transition metals and their many compounds act as good catalysts due to :
1. | Variable oxidation states | 2. | Unstable intermediate |
3. | Provide a suitable surface | 4. | All of the above |
