Which of the comparison regarding $Zn,\,Cd,\,Hg$ is/are incorrect ?
$(I)$ $ZnCl_2$ is ionic whereas $CdCl_2$ and $HgCl_2$ are covalent
$(II)$ $Zn$ and $Cd$ dissolves in dilute acid $(HCl)$ liberating $H_2$ but $Hg$ can not
$(III)$ $Zn$ and $Cd$ forming with ppt. of $Zn(OH)_2$ and $Cd(OH)_2$ but $Hg$ forms coloured ppt. of
$(IV)$ all from $A_2^{2+}$ type ion
only $III$
$I, III, IV$
$I$ and $III$
all of these
How would you account for the following:
$(i)$ of the $d^{4}$ species, $Cr ^{2+}$ is strongly reducing while manganese $(III)$ is strongly oxidising.
$(ii)$ Cobalt $(II)$ is stable in aqueous solution but in the presence of complexing reagents it is easily oxidised.
$(iii)$ The $d^{1}$ configuration is very unstable in ions.
Explain the variations in atomic radii of transition elements along the period.
In a reaction the ferrous $(F{e^{ + 2 }})$ iron is oxidised to ferric $(F{e^{ + 3 }})$ ion. The equivalent weight of the ion in the above reaction is equal to
A blue colouration is not obtained when
Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A:$ The spin only magnetic moment value for $\left[ Fe ( CN )_6\right]^{3-}$ is $1.74 BM$, whereas for $\left[ Fe \left( H _2 O \right)_6\right]^{3+}$ is $5.92\,BM$.
Reason $R :$ In both complexes, $Fe$ is present in +3 oxidation state.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
