Interpretation:
The highest oxidation states from Sc to Cu are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The transition metals are those that form at least one stable ion with incompletely filled d sub shell.
The transition metals show variable oxidation states.
The transition metals have partially filled d-sub shell.
Answer to Problem 7QP
Solution: The metals with highest oxidation states as follows:
Sc
Explanation of Solution
Transition metals have a greater number of oxidation states than any other element due to their ability to lose multiple electrons from the d subshell. The highest oxidation state of a
The electron configurations of transition metals are as follows:
Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu have
The highest oxidation states of Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu are
