Which one of the following sets of ions have same outershell electronic configuration?
Question 14
The pair of ions having same electronic configuration is.............
(a) Cr3+,Fe3+ (b) Fe3+,Mn2++ (c) Fe3+,Co3+ (d) SC3+,Cr3+
While Fe3+ is stable, Mn3+ is not stabe in acid solution because: (Mn3++e−→Mn2+, E∘=1.5 V;O2+4H++4e−→2H2O, E∘=+1.23V;Fe3++e−→Fe2+,E∘=0.77V)
