Given below are two statements:
Statement I : $\mathrm{CrO}_3$ is a stronger oxidizing agent than $\mathrm{MoO}_3$
Statement II : $\mathrm{Cr}(\mathrm{VI})$ is more stable than $\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{VI})$
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
Solution
<p>Statement I is true while Statement II is false. </p>
<p>Cr(VI) is less stable than Mo(VI). Consequently, CrO₃ more readily reduces to Cr³⁺ compared to MoO₃, exhibiting a stronger oxidizing nature.</p>
