Question

The correct order of following 3d metal oxides, according to their oxidation numbers is:

(a) CrO3\text{CrO}_3 (b) Fe2O3\text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3 (c) MnO2\text{MnO}_2 (d) V2O5\text{V}_2\text{O}_5 (e) Cu2O\text{Cu}_2\text{O}

Options
  1. a

    (d) > (a) > (b) > (c) > (e)

  2. b

    (a) > (c) > (d) > (b) > (e)

  3. c

    (a) > (d) > (c) > (b) > (e)

  4. d

    (c) > (a) > (d) > (e) > (b)

Correct Answerc

(a) > (d) > (c) > (b) > (e)

Detailed Solution

Calculating oxidation states:

| Oxide | Metal O.S. | |-------|------------| | (a) CrO3\text{CrO}_3 | Cr = +6 | | (b) Fe2O3\text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3 | Fe = +3 | | (c) MnO2\text{MnO}_2 | Mn = +4 | | (d) V2O5\text{V}_2\text{O}_5 | V = +5 | | (e) Cu2O\text{Cu}_2\text{O} | Cu = +1 |

Decreasing order: +6>+5>+4>+3>+1+6 > +5 > +4 > +3 > +1 (a)>(d)>(c)>(b)>(e)(a) > (d) > (c) > (b) > (e)
