Option (i) and (ii) are the correct answers.

The ones which will act as anodes when connected to standard hydrogen electrode as they have more negative standard reduction potential as compared to standard hydrogen electrode. The one which will act as cathodes when connected to standard hydrogen electrode as they have more positive standard reduction potential as compared to standard hydrogen electroDE

Hence, option (iii) and (iv) are the correct answers.

The given reaction is as below-

P₄+3OH^- +3H₂O→PH₃ + 3H₂PO₂^-

The above reaction is a kind of disproportionate reaction in which phosphorous is being reduced as well as oxidized whereas hydrogen remains same in +1 oxidation state.

Option (iii) and (iv) is the correct answer.

The given equation is as-

Zn+2HCl→ZnCl₂+H₂

In this Zn has a negative E? value, which means it will undergo oxidation and will act as a reducing agent (reductant). Zn can produce H₂ gas with HCl, as hydrogen has higher standard reduction potential than Zn, hydrogen will undergo reduction and will act as oxidant.

Options (iii) and (iv) are the correct answers.

As, in the given reaction below-

2KClO₃→2KCl+3O₂

Potassium remains in same oxidation state and oxygen is being oxidized

Option (iii) is the correct answer.

As, Cl, Br, I all are having -1 to +7 oxidation state. But Oxidation state of F is fixed (-1) as it is the most electronegative element and do not loose electron. Hence, it does not show disproportionate tendency.

Option (iv) is the correct answer.

Disproportionate reactions are defined as the reactions in which the same substance is oxidized as well as reduced. Here, the below reaction is given as-

2NO₂ + 2OH^- →NO₂ ^-+ NO₃^- +H₂O

In this reaction, N is both oxidized as well as reduced since O.N. of N increases from +4 in NO₃⁻?  to +5 in NO₂ ? and decreases from +4 in NO to +3 in NO₂⁻.

Option (iv) is the correct answer

For 3d¹ 4s² can exhibit the highest oxidation state as 2+1 = +3,

For 3d³4s²can exhibit the highest oxidation state as 2+3 = +5

For 3d⁵4s¹can exhibit the highest oxidation state as 1+5 = +6

For 3d⁵4s²can exhibit the highest oxidation state as 2+5 = +7

This is a Multiple Choice Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Option (i) is the correct answer

Let the oxidation number of central atom be 'y'.

Oxidation number of O = −2

CrO₂⁻: y + 2 * (−2) = −1

y − 4 = −1 or y = +3

CrO₄²⁻? : y + 4 * (−2) = −2

y − 8 = −2 or y = +6

ClO₃⁻: y + 3 * (−2) = −1

y − 6 = −1 or y = +5

MnO₄⁻: y + 4 * (−2) = −1

y − 8 = −1 or y = +7

increasing order of oxidation number of the central atom is:

CrO₂ ^– , ClO₃ ^–, CrO₄ ^2–, MnO₄
