                    Which one of the following ions is the most stable in aqueous solution?                               

    A)                 \[C{{r}^{3+}}\]

    B)                                         \[{{V}^{3+}}\]

    C)                         \[T{{i}^{3+}}\]

    D)                 Mn3+                 (At. no. Ti = 22, V - 23, Cr = 24, Mn = 25)

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                              Stability of transition metal ion is directly proportional to the unpaired electron. The exactly half filled and completely filled d-orbirals are extra stable.                 \[C{{r}^{3+}}(21)=3{{d}^{3}}4{{s}^{0}}-3\] unpaired electrons                 \[{{V}^{3+}}(20)=3{{d}^{2}}\,4{{s}^{0}}-2\] unpaired electrons                 \[T{{i}^{3+}}(19)=3{{d}^{1}}4{{s}^{0}}-1\] unpaired electron                 \[M{{n}^{3+}}(22)\,=3{{d}^{4}}\,4{{s}^{0}}\,-4\] unpaired electrons                 So, \[M{{n}^{3+}}\] ion is most stable in aqueous solution.
