NEET Chemistry Oxidation Number Match the Following Question

Type: Match the Following-match the column-Hard-Class 11

Match Column-I with Column-II.

Column-IColumn-II
(a) Oxidation number of carbon in CO3^{2-}(i) +4
(b) Oxidation number of sulfur in SO2(ii) +6
(c) Oxidation number of chromium in Cr2O7^{2-}(iii) +2
(d) Oxidation number of iron in FeCl2(iv) +3
A

a-i, b-ii, c-iv, d-iii

B

a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv

C

a-i, b-iv, c-ii, d-iii

D

a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The oxidation number of carbon in CO32−3^{2-} is +4 (a-i), sulfur in SO2 is +4 (b-iv), chromium in Cr2O72−7^{2-} is +6 (c-ii), and iron in FeCl2 is +2 (d-iii). The correct matches are a-i, b-iv, c-ii, d-iii, reflecting the rules for calculating oxidation numbers.
