Among transition metals, the highest oxidation state is exhibited in oxoanions of a metal. Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The oxoanions of metals have covalent nature in which oxygen is involved in the multiple bonding with the metal atom. This is responsible for the high oxidation state of the metal in oxoanions. Fore example, the element Mn exhibits +7 oxidation state in permanganate ion `(MnO_(4))^(-)`.
