Why d3 is more stable than d5 ?
Ans= in d3 configuration 3 electron ae present in t2g
whereas in d5 3 electrons are present in t2g and 2 electrons are present in eg which will cause unstability.
Ans = cr +2 is better or stronger reducing agent then iron +2
on oxidation from cr +2 to cr+3 the configuration achieved by it is d3 whereas on oxidation fe+2 to fe+3 the configuration achieved is d5 which is less stable than d3.
Ans = as fluorine and oxygen are most electronegative
elements hence are capable to shift maximum number of electron from trasition element away from them.
NOTE = Out of fluorine and oxygen oxygen shift more
electron towards it Because of the tendency of forming multiple bond which is not present in fluorine Ans = chromium in +2 oxidise itself to +3 and achieve d3 configuration which is highly stable hence act as reducing agent but manganese +3 reduce itself to +2 to have d5 configuration because to achieve d3 configuration manganese +3 should convert into +4 which requires large amount of energy as with increase in charge on cation ionization energy increases.
Ans = Copper in +1 have d10 configuration due to which
(energy require to dissolve 1 mole of substance in water is known as hydration ) its hydration energy is quite high and hence to decrease the hydration energy or to get soluble in water easily it attains d9 configuration by having copper +2 state.
