    Reading Comprehension

    Read the following passage and answer the next five questions based on it.
    Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe
    Co Ni Cu Zn
    Y Zr Nb Mo Tc Ru
    Rh Pd Ag Cd
    La Hf Ta W Re Os
    Ir Pt Hg
    In any transition series, as we move from left to right the d-orbitals are progressively filled and their properties vary accordingly.
    Ce Pr Nd Pm Sm
    Eu Gd Tb Dy Ho
    Er Yb Lu Cm Bk
    Tm
    Th Pa U Np Pu Am
    Cf Es Fm Md No Lr
    The above are the two series of f-block elements in which the chemical properties won't change much. The 5f-series elements are radioactive in nature and mostly are artificially synthesized in laboratories and thus much is not known about their chemical properties.

    Identify the incorrect statement.

    1) Question

    Identify the incorrect statement.

    A.

    Second ionisation enthalpy of Ag is greater than second ionisation enthalpy of Pd.

    B.

    Zr and Hf shares almost identical nuclear properties.

    C.

    Melting point of Mn is lower than that of Cr.

    D.

    Interstitial compounds are non-stoichiometric and neither ionic nor covalent in nature.

    Correct option is B

    Zr and Hf due to Lanthanoid contraction have similar size and shows similar properties but nuclear properties involve electric charge, mass etc., Zr and Hf have different atomic number and mass number. Therefore, do not show identical nuclear properties.

    2) Question

    Which of the following is the correct order of second ionisation enthalpy?

    A.

    V >Cr > Mn

    B.

    V<Cr<Mn

    C.

    V<Cr> Mn

    D.

    V > Cr < Mn

    Correct option is C



    In general, ionization potential (both 1st and 2nd) increases from left to right across the period due to increase in effective nuclear charge. On this basis, the second IP values should exhibit the trend: Mn > Cr > V > Ti, but the actual observed order is: Cr > Mn > V > Ti

    3) Question

    Which of the following pair of compounds exhibits same colour in aqueous solution?

    A.

    FeCl_2, CuCl_2

    B.

    VOCl_2, CuCl_2

    C.

    VOCl_2, FeCl_2

    D.

    VOCl_2, MnCl_2

    Correct option is B

    In transition element series, colour is observed due to d-d transition of d orbital electrons so compounds with same no. of unpair electron will show same colour.
    Both have one unpaired electron in the d-orbital and thus exhibit same colour.

    4) Question

    Which metal has the highest oxidation state in the first row transition series?

    A.

    Cr

    B.

    Fe

    C.

    Mn

    D.

    V

    Correct option is C

    Mn shows +7 highest oxidation state
