NEET Chemistry Transition Elements Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Lanthanoid contraction (i) Oxidation of iodide to iodate (b) Manganese oxidation state (ii) Cu+ disproportionation (c) High melting point (iii) Similarity in properties of Zr and Hf (d) Cu2+ stability (iv) Transition metal properties
Choose the correct matching:
a-iii, b-i, c-iv, d-ii
a-ii, b-iv, c-i, d-iii
a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The lanthanoid contraction leads to similar radii and properties between Zr and Hf (a-iii). Manganese exhibits various oxidation states (b-i), and high melting points are characteristic of transition metals (c-iv). The stability of Cu2+ is explained by its negative enthalpy change (d-ii).
