MCQ
The pair of compounds having metals in their highest oxidation state is
  • $MnO_4 ^-$ and $CrO_2Cl_2$
  • B
    $[NiCl_4]^{2-}$ and $[CoCl_4]^{2-}$
  • C
    $[Fe(CN)_6]^{3-}$ and $[Cu(CN)_2]^{2-}$
  • D
    $[FeCl_4]^-$ and $Co_2O_3$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$MnO_4 ^-$ and $CrO_2Cl_2$
a
$(1)\,Cr\mathop {{O_2}}\limits^{2 - } \mathop {C{l_2}}\limits^{ - 1} \,\,Cr =  + 6;\,Mn\mathop {{O_2}}\limits^{2 - } \,\,Mn =  + 4$

       (Highest oxidation state)

$(2)\,{[Ni\mathop {C{l_4}}\limits^{ - 1} ]^{2 - }}\,\,Ni =  + 2;\,{[Co\mathop {C{l_4}}\limits^{ - 1} ]^{2 - }}\,\,Co =  + 2$

$(3)\,{[Fe{(\mathop {CN}\limits^{ - 1} )_6}]^{3 - }}\,\,Fe =  + 3;\,{[Cu{(\mathop {CN}\limits^{ - 1} )_4}]^{2 - }}\,\,Cu =  + 2$

$(4)\,{[Fe\mathop {C{l_4}}\limits^{ - 1} ]^ - }\,\,Fe =  + 3;\,C{o_2}\mathop {{O_3}}\limits^{ - 2} \,Co =  + 3$
