Given below are two statements:
Statement I: is a stronger oxidizing agent than .
Statement II: Cr(VI) is more stable than Mo(VI).
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below: [2025]
(2)
In block, stability of higher oxidation state increases down the group. Thus Mo(VI) is more stable than Cr(VI). Thus is easily reduced to and is better reducing agent than .
