प्रश्न
Account for the following:
Mn2+ is more stable than Fe2+ towards oxidation to +3 state.
उत्तर
Electronic configuration of Mn2+ is [Ar]18 3d5 .
Electronic configuration of Fe2+ is [Ar]18 3d6 .
It is known that half-filled and fully-filled orbitals are more stable. Therefore, Mn in the +2 state has a stable d5 configuration. Therefore, Mn2+ shows resistance to oxidation to Mn3+. Also, Fe2+ has a 3d6 configuration and by losing one electron, its configuration changes to a more stable 3d5 configuration. Therefore, Fe2+ gets oxidised to Fe3+ easily.
