Question

Which of the following statements about redox potentials is not correct? *

(A) The redox potential of a transition metal ion tells you how easily it is transformed from a higher to a lower oxidation state.

(B) The ligands that co-ordinate to a transition metal ion can affect its redox potential.

(C) The larger the redox potential of a transition metal ion, the more stable it is.

Answer 1

option C is incorrect

Answer 2

● Answer -
Incorrect statement is -
(C) The larger the redox potential of a transition metal ion, the more stable it is.


● Extra information -
- Ability of transition metal ion to form stable complex depends on its redox potential.
- Lower the redox potential, stable is the complex.
- Therefore, for larger redox potential of transition metal ion, complex formed is less stable.
