Can you explain the answer of this question below:Which one of the following is a diamagnetic ion?- A:CO2+
- B:Cu2+
- C:Mn2+
- D:Sc3+
The answer is d.
Which one of the following is a diamagnetic ion?
A:
CO2+
B:
Cu2+
C:
Mn2+
D:
Sc3+
|
Learners Habitat answered |
Co+2 = [Ar] 3d7
Cu2+ = [Ar] 3d9
Mn+2 = [Ar] 3d5
Sc+3 = [Ar]
We can see that only Sc+3 has no unpaired electron, so it is a diamagnetic ion.
Cu2+ = [Ar] 3d9
Mn+2 = [Ar] 3d5
Sc+3 = [Ar]
We can see that only Sc+3 has no unpaired electron, so it is a diamagnetic ion.

Om Desai answered |
ilver in the form of Ag+ is colourless. For transition metal ions to exhibit color, their metal ions must have incompletely filled (n-1)d orbitals.
Ag+ =4d10,5s0
Ag+ has completely filled d orbitals hence is colourless.

In which of the following oxidation states La achieve the noble gas configuration?
a)
+7
b)
+3
c)
+5
d)
+2
|
Shail Chawla answered |
La stands for Lanthanum, which is a member of the lanthanide series of elements in the periodic table. It has an atomic number of 57 and an electronic configuration of [Xe]5d1 6s2.
Achieving Noble Gas Configuration
To achieve a noble gas configuration, an element must have its outermost shell filled with electrons. The noble gases are stable because they have a filled outermost shell. Lanthanum can achieve this configuration by losing three electrons from its outermost shell.
Oxidation States
The oxidation state of an element is the charge that it carries when it forms a compound or ion. Lanthanum can form compounds in various oxidation states, including +2, +3, and +4.
In order to determine in which oxidation state La achieves noble gas configuration, we need to look at its electron configuration and determine how many electrons it needs to lose to achieve a filled outermost shell.
La3+ (Oxidation State of +3)
When Lanthanum loses three electrons, it forms a +3 ion (La3+). In this oxidation state, La has a noble gas configuration of [Xe]. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
Other Oxidation States
Lanthanum can also form compounds in other oxidation states, but they do not achieve a noble gas configuration. For example, in the +2 oxidation state, La has an electron configuration of [Xe]5d1, which is not a filled outermost shell.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Lanthanum achieves noble gas configuration in the +3 oxidation state by losing three electrons and forming a La3+ ion.

D-block elements
The long form periodic table consists of four blocks: s, p, d, and f. The s and p blocks are located on the left and right sides of the periodic table, respectively. The d-block elements are located in the middle of the periodic table, between the s and p blocks. These elements are also known as transition elements.
Explanation:
The d-block elements are characterized by the presence of partially filled d-orbitals in their valence shells. These elements are often referred to as transition elements because they exhibit a transition between the highly reactive s-block elements and the relatively inert p-block elements. The d-block elements are known for their unique chemical and physical properties, such as their ability to form complex ions and their high melting and boiling points.
Examples of d-block elements include titanium, iron, copper, and zinc. These elements are widely used in industry and technology due to their unique properties, such as their strength, durability, and conductivity.

Sushil Kumar answered |
The correct answer is option D
Lanthanoids primarily show three oxidation states (+2, +3, +4). Among these oxidation states, +3 state is the most common. Lanthanoids display a limited number of oxidation states because the energy difference between 4f, 5d and 6s orbitals is quite large. On the other hand, the energy difference between 5f, 6d and 7s orbitals is very less. Hence, actinoids display a large number of oxidation states.

The melting and boiling points first increase, reaches maximum and then steadily decrease across any transition series. ... The low melting points of Zn, Cd, and Hg are due to the absence of unpaired d-electrons in their atoms and thus low metallic bonding.

The correct answer is Option C
Only d orbitals accept the lone pair of electrons during complex formation. Their absence means that the atom will not be able to accept the lone pair of electrons and the complex will not be formed.

The elements in the Lanthanide series are La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Lu.
In Lanthanides (Ce−Lu), the atomic and ionic radii decrease steadily. This steady decrease in atomic and ionic radii is known as Lanthanide Contraction.
The contraction is due to the fact that f−orbitals are not capable of providing effective shielding for the valence electrons from the nuclear attraction.

Hansa Sharma answered |
The correct answer is option C
In Electrolytic refining, the impure metal is made to act as an anode. A strip of the same metal in pure form is used as a cathode.
They are put in a suitable electrolytic bath containing a soluble salt of the same metal.
The more basic metal remains in the solution and the less basic ones go to the anode mud.
Copper is refined using an electrolytic method.
Impurities from the blister copper deposit as anode mud which contains antimony, selenium, tellurium, silver, gold, and platinum; recovery of these elements may meet the cost of refining.

The correct answer is C
When an alkali is added to an orange red solution of dichromate it forms chromate.
For example:
K2Cr2O7 + 2KOH ➡ 2K2CrO4 + H2O

Swati Verma answered |
The correct answer is option B
It is given that an excess of KI reacts with CuSO4 solution and then Na2S2O3 is added to it. This is hypo test and reactions are as follows:
2CuSO4 + 4KI → 2K2SO4 + 2CuI+I2
2Na2S2O3 + I2→ Na2S4O6 + 2NaI
CuI2 is not formed according to the following reaction.
2CuI2(unstable) → 2CuI+I2
Hence, the statement in option B is incorrect.
