Which one of the following ions is the most stable in aqueous solution?

1. V3+
2. Ti3+
3. Mn3+
4. Cr3+

Correct answer: Cr3+

Solution

Cr3+ is the most stable in aqueous solution due to its half-filled t2g orbital configuration in an octahedral field, which provides extra stability from crystal field stabilization energy.
