Mn has a maximum oxidation state of +6.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was posed to me in quiz.The origin of the question is D and F-Block Elements topic in chapter D and F-Block Elements of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The correct choice is (b) False

The BEST I can explain: The highest oxidation state in the oxides of any transition METAL is equal to its group number, for example, 7 in Mn2O7. Beyond group 7, no HIGHER oxides of iron above Fe2O3 are known. Some metals in higher oxidation state STABILIZE by forming oxocations.
