NEET 2024 Chemistry Standard Electrode Potentials MCQ Question
The E° value for the Mn³⁺/Mn²⁺ couple is more positive than that of Cr³⁺/Cr²⁺ or Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ due to change of
d⁴ to d⁵ configuration
d³ to d⁵ configuration
d⁵ to d⁴ configuration
d⁵ to d² configuration
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The Mn³⁺/Mn²⁺ couple has a more positive E° value due to the stability of the half-filled d⁵ configuration.
