The common oxidation states of Ti areA. `+2, +3, +4`B. `+2, +3`C. `+3, +4`D. `+3, -4` |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - C Element Ti exhibits a variety of oxidation states `(-1, 0, +2, +3` and `+4)` but the most common and most stable oxidation states is `+4`. The oxidation state`+3` is reducing and `Ti^(3+)` ions are more strongly reducing than `Sn^(2+)`. The `+2` stateis veryunstable and is so strongly reducing that it reduces water. The lower oxidation states `(0, -1` and `-2)` which are found in dipyridyl complexes tend to disproportionate. |
