Question
Why EΘ values for Mn, Ni and Zn are more negative than expected?
Advertisements
Solution
Negative E° values of Mn2+ and Zn2+ are because of stabilities of half-filled (3d10 : Mn2+) and fully-filled (3d10 : Zn2+) configuration respectively.Mn2+ ion has higher EΘ value because of highest negative enthalpy of hydrogen.
