Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion
A
and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion : In aqueous solutions 
is reducing while 
is oxidising in nature. Reason (R): Extra stability to half-filled electronic configuration is observed than incompletely filled electronic configuration. In the light of the above statement, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below: Both and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of is false but (R) is true is true but (R) is false

B
Both
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
is reducing as it configuration changes from 
to 
due to formation of 
, which has half filled 
level, on other hand, the change 
to 
result half filled 
configuration which has extra stability.
