Why is Cr2+ reducing and Mn3+ oxidising when both have d4 configuration?

Explanation:
Cr2+ is strongly reducing in nature. ... While acting as a reducing agent, it gets oxidized to Cr3+ (electronic configuration, d3). This d3configuration can be written as t32g configuration, which is a more stable configuration. In the case of Mn3+ (d4), it acts as an oxidizing agent and gets reduced to Mn2+ (d5).Sep 21, 2018
