Match the underlined atoms in Column I and oxidation number in Column II.
| Column I | Column II |
| (a) MnO4- | (p) 1 |
| (b) CrO42- | (q) 2 |
| (c) ZnO22- | (r) 7 |
| (d) [Ag(CN)2]- | (s) 6 |
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is option 4. (a)-(r), (b)-(s), (c)-(q), (d)-(p)
| Column I | Column II |
| (a) MnO4- | (r) 7 |
| (b) CrO42- | (s) 6 |
| (c) ZnO22- | (q) 2 |
| (d) [Ag(CN)2]- | (p) 1 |
MnO4-
x + 4(-2) = -1
x - 8 = -1
x = -1 + 8 = 7
CrO42-
x + 4(-2) = -2
x - 8 = -2
x = -2 = 8 = +6
ZnO22-
x + 2(-2) = -2
x - 4 = -2
x = -2 + 4 = +2
[Ag(CN)2]-
x + 2(-1) = -1
x - 2 = -1
x = -1 + 2 = 1
