Give examples and suggest reasons for the following features of the transition metals.
A transition metal exhibits highest oxidation state in oxides and fluorides.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Both oxygen and fluorine being highly electronegative can increase the oxidation state of a particular transition metal. In certain oxides, the element oxygen is involved in multiple bonding with the metal and this is responsible for the higher oxidation state of the metal.
