In context with the transition elements, which of the following statements is incorrect ?

A

In addition to the normal oxidation states, the zero oxidation state is also shown by these elements in complexes.

B

In the highest oxidation state, the transition metals show basic character and form cationic complexes.

C

In the highest oxidation states of the first five transition elements (Sc to Mn), all the 4s and 3d electrons are used for bonding.

D

Once the `d^5` configuration is exceeded, the tendency to involve all the 3d- electrons in bonding decreases.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
When the trasition metals are in their highest oxidation state, they no longer have tendency to give away electrons , thus they are not basic but show acidic character and from anionic complexes.
