Which of the following arrangements represent increasing oxidation number of the central atom?

A

CrO2,ClO3,CrO42,MnO4CrO_{2}^{-},ClO_{3}^{-},CrO_{4}^{2 -},MnO_{4}^{-}

B

ClO3,CrO42,MnO4,CrO2ClO_{3}^{-},CrO_{4}^{2 -},MnO_{4}^{-},CrO_{2}^{-}

C

CrO2,ClO3,MnO4,CrO42CrO_{2}^{-},ClO_{3}^{-},MnO_{4}^{-},CrO_{4}^{2 -}

D

CrO42,MnO4,CrO2,ClO3CrO_{4}^{2 -},MnO_{4}^{-},CrO_{2}^{-},ClO_{3}^{-}

Answer

CrO2,ClO3,CrO42,MnO4CrO_{2}^{-},ClO_{3}^{-},CrO_{4}^{2 -},MnO_{4}^{-}

Explanation

Solution

: CrO+32<ClO3+5<CrO42+6<MnO4+7{\overset{+ 3}{CrO}}_{2}^{-} < \overset{+ 5}{ClO_{3}^{-}} < \overset{+ 6}{CrO_{4}^{2 -}} < \overset{+ 7}{MnO_{4}^{-}}
