A transition metal ion exists in its highest oxidation state. It is expected to behave as

A

a chelating agent

B

a central metal in a coordination compound

C

an oxidising agent

D

a reducing agent

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
When a transition metal ion exists in its highest oxidation state, it acts as an oxidising agent. For example, Mn (VII) in `KMnO_(4)` is one of the strongest oxidising agents known in solution.
