Which metal in the first series of transition metals exhibits + 1 oxidation state most frequently and why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Copper exhibits + 1 oxidation state most frequently because `Cu^(+)` has electronic configuration `[Ar] 4s^(0) 3d^(10)` which has a fulfilled d- subshell which is more stable.
