In context with the transition elements, which of the followingstatements is incorrect ?

Answer»

In the highestoxidation states,the transiton metals show basiccharacter and FORM cationic complexes.
In the highestoxidation states of the first five transitionelements (Sc to MN), all the 4s and 3d electrons are used forbonding
Once the`d^(5)` configuration is exceeded,the tendency to INVOLVE all the 3d electrons in BONDING decrease.
In addition to the normal states, the zero oxidation state is also SHOWN by these elementsin complexes.

Solution :In the highest oxidation state, transition metals show acidiccharacter and form anionic complexes.
