Which metal in the first transition series exhibits +1 oxidation state most frequently and why ? |
| Answer» Solution :Cu has the ELECTRONIC configuratio `3d^(10)4s^(1)`. It can EASILY LOSE `4s^(1)` ELECTRON to give the stable `3d^(10) ` configuration . Hence, it SHOWS `+1` oxidation state. We write it as Cu(I). | |
