A transition metal exists in its highest oxidation state.It is expected to behaveas
Answer»
a chelating agent a central metal in a coordination compound an oxidizing agent a reducing agent.
Solution :In the HIGHESTOXIDATION state, it can undergo reduction and hence ACTS as oxidizing agent, e.g., in`KMnO_(4)`, Mnis in `+7` oxidation state. It is one of the STRONGEST oxidizing agent in solution.
