View written solutionFree

Correct answer: A

  1. We need the compound that is both metallic and ferromagnetic.

    So we check the given oxides:

    • CrO2CrO_2CrO2​
    • VO2VO_2VO2​
    • MnO2MnO_2MnO2​
    • TiO2TiO_2TiO2​
  2. Recall important properties of these oxides:

    • CrO2CrO_2CrO2​: This is a well-known metallic oxide and it is ferromagnetic. It has been used in magnetic recording materials.
    • VO2VO_2VO2​: Shows a metal-insulator transition, but at ordinary conditions it is not the standard ferromagnetic metallic oxide asked here.
    • MnO2MnO_2MnO2​: Commonly an oxide with insulating/semiconducting character; not ferromagnetic metallic.
    • TiO2TiO_2TiO2​: A non-metallic oxide, widely known as a semiconductor/insulator; not ferromagnetic.
  3. Option-wise evaluation:

    • A: CrO2CrO_2CrO2​ →\rightarrow→ metallic and ferromagnetic ✅
    • B: VO2VO_2VO2​ →\rightarrow→ not the required ferromagnetic metallic compound ❌
    • C: MnO2MnO_2MnO2​ →\rightarrow→ not metallic and ferromagnetic ❌
    • D: TiO2TiO_2TiO2​ →\rightarrow→ not metallic and ferromagnetic ❌
  4. Final answer:

    The compound which is metallic and ferromagnetic is: CrO2\boxed{CrO_2}CrO2​​ Hence, Option A is correct.
