Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A) : In aqueous solutions Cr2+\mathrm{Cr}^{2+} is reducing while Mn3+\mathrm{Mn}^{3+} 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:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
Option A is correct because Cr2+ is reducing due to its tendency to form the stable half-filled t2g3 configuration of Cr3+, while Mn3+ is oxidizing due to the formation of the stable d5 configuration of Mn2+.
