Match Column I with Column II for the oxidation states of the central atoms.

Column I Column II
A. $$
\mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7^{2-}
$$
1. +3
B. $$
\mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}
$$
2. +4
C. $$
\mathrm{VO}_3^{-}
$$
3. +5
D. $$
\mathrm{FeF}_6^{3-}
$$
5. +6
6 +7

Explanation

$$\mathrm{A.\to(4)\quad B.\to(5)\quad C.\to(3)\quad D.\to(1)}$$

Suppose that $x$ be the oxidation states of central atoms.

A. Oxidation number of Cr in $\mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7^{2-}$

$$\begin{aligned} 2 x+7(-2) & =-2 \\ 2 x-14 & =-2 \\ 2 x & =+12 \\ x & =+6 \end{aligned}$$

$$\begin{aligned} &\text { B. Oxidation number of } \mathrm{Mn} \text { in } \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}\\ &\begin{aligned} x+4(-2) & =-1 \\ x-8 & =-1 \\ x & =+7 \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$$

$$\begin{aligned} &\text { C. Oxidation number of } \mathrm{V} \text { in } \mathrm{VO}_3^{-}\\ &\begin{aligned} x+3(-2) & =-1 \\ x-6 & =-1 \\ x & =+5 \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$$

$$\begin{aligned} &\text { D. Oxidation number of } \mathrm{Fe} \text { in } \mathrm{FeF}_6^{3-}\\ &\begin{aligned} x+6(-1) & =-3 \\ x-6 & =-3 \\ \text { or }\quad x & =+3 \end{aligned}\\ \end{aligned}$$
