Question

Given below are two statements: Statement I: Iron (III) catalyst, acidified K Cr O and neutral KMnO have the ability to oxidise I to I independently. Statement II: Manganate ion is paramagnetic in nature and involves pπ–pπ bonding. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options. 2 2 7 4 – 2 42-

(A) Both statement I and Statement II are true
(B) Both statement I and Statement II are false
(C) Statement I is true but Statement II is false
(D) Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B) BOTH STATEMENT I AND STATEMENT II ARE FALSE. Manganate ion MnO has tetrahedral structure and has only dπ- pπ bonds. is not used as a catalyst in the conversion of to by . oxidise in acidic medium easily. Therefore, both the statement I and statement II are false.
