Question

Among ${Fe}^{2 +},{Fe}^{3 +},{Cr}^{2 +}$ and ${Zn}^{2 +}$, the ion that shows positive borax bead test and with highest ionisation enthalpy is:

Options

A.${Fe}^{2 +}$
B.${Zn}^{2 +}$
C.${Cr}^{2 +}$
D.${Fe}^{3 +}$

Solution

Sol. [Key Concept: Zn$2 +$ (d$10$) gives no borax-bead colour; among the rest Fe$3 +$ has the highest ionisation enthalpy.]

${Zn}^{2 +}$ does not show Borax Bead Test.

Among remaining ions; ${Fe}^{3 +}$ has maximum ionization energy.
