The correct Answer is:
To determine how many of the given elements show +2 as their most stable oxidation state, we will analyze each element one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Scandium (Sc)**: - Scandium typically exhibits a +3 oxidation state as its most stable state. - **Conclusion**: Does not show +2 as the most stable oxidation state. 2. **Tin (Sn)**: - Tin can exhibit oxidation states of +2 and +4, but +2 is often more stable in certain compounds. - **Conclusion**: Shows +2 as a stable oxidation state. 3. **Zinc (Zn)**: - Zinc predominantly shows a +2 oxidation state, which is its most stable state. - **Conclusion**: Shows +2 as the most stable oxidation state. 4. **Beryllium (Be)**: - Beryllium typically shows a +2 oxidation state as its most stable oxidation state. - **Conclusion**: Shows +2 as the most stable oxidation state. 5. **Lead (Pb)**: - Lead can exhibit +2 and +4 oxidation states, but +2 is often more stable in many compounds. - **Conclusion**: Shows +2 as a stable oxidation state. 6. **Cobalt (Co)**: - Cobalt can exhibit +2 and +3 oxidation states, with +2 being quite stable. - **Conclusion**: Shows +2 as the most stable oxidation state. 7. **Silver (Ag)**: - Silver primarily shows a +1 oxidation state, which is its most stable state. - **Conclusion**: Does not show +2 as the most stable oxidation state. 8. **Titanium (Ti)**: - Titanium typically shows +4 as its most stable oxidation state. - **Conclusion**: Does not show +2 as the most stable oxidation state. 9. **Iron (Fe)**: - Iron can exhibit +2 and +3 oxidation states, with +2 being stable in many cases. - **Conclusion**: Shows +2 as a stable oxidation state. ### Summary of Findings: - Elements that show +2 as their most stable oxidation state: Sn, Zn, Be, Pb, Co, Fe. - Total count: 6 elements. ### Final Answer: **6 elements show +2 as their most stable oxidation state.** ---

To determine how many of the given elements show +2 as their most stable oxidation state, we will analyze each element one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Scandium (Sc)**: - Scandium typically exhibits a +3 oxidation state as its most stable state. - **Conclusion**: Does not show +2 as the most stable oxidation state. ...
