JEE · NEET Previous Year Question

The basic character of the transition metal monoxide follows the order:
(At. no. : Ti = 22, V = 23, Cr = 24, Fe = 26)

Topic: NEET PYQ

Answer: D. Full step-by-step solution below.

  1. AVO > CrO > TiO > FeO
  2. BCrO > VO > FeO > TiO
  3. CTiO > FeO > VO > CrO
  4. DTiO > VO > CrO > FeO

Correct answer: D

Solution

(d) The order of basic character of the transition metal monoxide is TiO > VO > CrO > FeO because basic character of oxides decreases with increase in atomic number. Hence, oxides of transitional metals in low oxidation state ie, + 2 and +3 are generaly basic except Cr2O3.
