Scandium (Z = 21) is a transition element but zinc (Z = 30) is not because-

1. Sc has 3d0 and Zn has 3d10 
2. Sc has 3d1 and Zn has 3d10 
3. Sc has 3d10 and Zn has 3d1  
4. None of the above

Given below are two statements: 

Assertion (A): Cr2+ acts as a reducing agent and Mn3+ acts as an oxidising agent when both have d4 configuration.
Reason (R): The maximum oxidation state Cr show is +5 and Mn shows is +7.

 

1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. (A) is False but (R) is True.

The example of disproportionation reaction among the following is:
1. 3\(MnO_{4}^{2-}\)+ 4 H+ → 2\(MnO_{4}^{-}\) + MnO2 + 2H2O
2. Na2Cr2O7 + 2 KCl → K2Cr2O7 + 2 NaCl
3. PCl5 + H2O → POCl3 +  2HCl
4. 2MnO2 + 4KOH + O2 → 2K2MnO4 + 2H2O
