Which of the following exhibits only + 3 oxidation state?

  1. U
  2. Th
  3. Ac
  4. Pa

Answer

(3) Ac

Solution

As per NCERT (oxidation states of actinoids):

Ac ⇒ +3 only

Th ⇒ +3, +4

Pa ⇒ +3, +4, +5

U ⇒ +3, +4, +5, +6

∴ Actinium (Ac, 6d1 7s2) exhibits only the +3 oxidation state.

Answer: (3)

Which one of the following does not correctly represent the correct order of the property indicated against it?

  1. Ti < V < Cr < Mn : increasing number of oxidation states
  2. Ti3+ < V3+ < Cr3+ < Mn3+ : increasing magnetic moment
  3. Ti < V < Cr < Mn : increasing melting points
  4. Ti < V < Mn < Cr : increasing 2nd ionization enthalpy
