Why transition element has highest oxidation number in oxides and fluo

1.	Why transition element has highest oxidation number in oxides and fluorides?
Answer» Ⓗⓔⓨ_______ ⓜⓐⓣⓔ ____ ________________ The lowest oxide of transition metal is basic, the HIGHEST is amphoteric/acidic. (ii)A transition metal EXHIBITS highest oxidation STATE in oxides and fluorides. ... This MEANS that some of the valence electrons of the metal atom are not involved in bonding. As a result, it can donate electrons and behave as a BASE.
