1.	Mark the correct statement from the following :
Answer» <P>Copper metal can be oxidised by `ZN^(2+)` ions. Oxidation number of phosphorus in `P_(4)` is 4 An element in the highest oxidation state acts only as a REDUCING agent. The element which shows highest oxidation number of +8 is Os in `OsO_(4)` Solution :CU cannot be oxidised by `Zn^(2+)` ion, oxidation number of phosphorus is zero. An element in its highest oxidation state acts as an OXIDISING agent.
