What is the maximum nad minimum oxidation states for Na Mg AI Sn and Mn? |
|
Answer» Solution :The minimum oxidation state for all metals is 0 the MAXIMUM oxidatin state for s and p block elements is EQUAL to the numbre of ELECTRONS present inn the valence shell thus maximum oxidation stateof Na=+1 that of MG is +2 that of AI is +3 and that of k `ll` Sn is +4 However for d block elemtys the maximum oxidation state is equal to hte sum of (n-1) d and ns electons thus maximum oxidation state of Mn`(3d^(5) 4S^(2))=5+2=+7` |
