NEET Chemistry Transition Elements Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Transition metals (i) Paramagnetism arises from unpaired electrons. (b) Manganese (ii) Exhibits oxidation states from +2 to +7. (c) Zinc (iii) Only oxidation state is +2. (d) Transition elements (iv) High catalytic activity due to multiple oxidation states.
Choose the correct matching:
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-iii, c-i, d-iv
a-iv, b-ii, c-i, d-iii
a-iii, b-i, c-iv, d-ii
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
All pairs in option A are accurate: transition metals exhibit paramagnetism due to unpaired electrons, manganese displays oxidation states from +2 to +7, zinc only has a +2 oxidation state, and transition elements are known for their high catalytic activity owing to their multiple oxidation states.
