Q.

The incorrect relationship in the following pairs in relation to ionisation enthalpies is :               [2025]
 

1 Mn+<Cr+  
2 Mn+<Mn2+  
3 Fe2+<Fe3+  
4 Mn2+<Fe2+  

Ans.

(4)

Ionization energy of Mn2+([18Ar]3d5) is more than that of Fe2+([18Ar]3d6), as Mn2+ has stable half-filled configuration.
