Give examples and suggest reasons for the following features of the transition metals.
The lowest oxide of transition metal is basic, the highest is amphoteric/acidic.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Acidic strength of oxides increases with the increase in oxidation state of the element Eg.: `MnO(Mn^(2+)`) is basic whereas `Mn_(2)O_(7)(Mn^(7+)`) is acidic in nature.
