Exceptional configuration in '3d' series -

Due to half fill stable configuration 24^{Cr} is stable in 3d^{5}\:4s^1 configuration at the place of 3d^{4}\:4s^2.
Similarly, 29^{Cu} stable with 3d^{10}4s^1 at the place of 3d^{9}4s^2.

-

 

 The reaction proceeds as follows:

Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}+2H^{+}+4H_{2}O_{2}\rightarrow 2CrO\left ( O_{2} \right )_{2}+5H_{2}O

In peroscide linkages, the ascidation state of each axygen atom is -1. Let O.S. of be x

Then, x-2-2*2=0

= x=+6

O.S, is +6


Option 1)

Option 2)

+3

This is incorrect option

Option 3)

+6

This is correct option

Option 4)
