The basic character of transition metal monoxides follows the order:
Choose the correct metal/ ion from the brackets which -------------------------
A. has chemical reactivity similar to that of the first few members of the Lanthanoids $(\mathrm{Zn}, \mathrm{Ca}, \mathrm{Fe}, \mathrm{Cu})$.
B. has stable $4 \mathrm{f}^7$ electronic configuration, but acts as a strong reducing agent and converts to $\mathrm{M}^{3+}$ state. $\left(\mathrm{Eu}^{2+}, \mathrm{Ce}^{2+}, \mathrm{Pr}^{2+}, \mathrm{Dy}^{2+}\right)$
C. is a colorless ion $\left(\mathrm{Tm}^{3+}, \mathrm{Lu}^{3+}, \mathrm{Gd}^{3+}, \mathrm{Sm}^{3+}\right)$.
D. shows stable +2 oxidation state and is diamagnetic ( $\mathrm{Ce}, \mathrm{Sm}, \mathrm{Ho}, \mathrm{Yb}$ )
Find the correct matches.
| A. | $\mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7^{2-}$ | P. | is predominantly a basic compound. |
|---|---|---|---|
| B. | $\mathrm{FeCr}_2 \mathrm{O}_4$ | Q. | is predominantly a acidic compound |
| C. | $\mathrm{CrO}_3$ | R. | forms yellow chromate on reaction with $\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{CO}_3$ in air. |
| D. | $\mathrm{CrO}$ | S. | is interconvertible with $\mathrm{MO}_4^{2-}$ depending on the pH of the medium. |
