Cr2+ is a strong reducing agent.
Give reasons for the following statement:

उत्तर
Cr2+ is strongly reducing in nature. It has a d4 configuration. While acting as a reducing agent, it gets oxidised to Cr3+ (with electronic configuration d3). This d3 configuration can be written as \[\ce{t^3_{2g}}\] configuration, which is a more stable configuration.
