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 oxidizing agent

D

a reducing agent.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In the highest oxidation state, it can undergo reduction and hence acts as oxidizing agent, e.g., in `KMnO_(4)`, Mnis in `+7` oxidation state. It is one of the strongest oxidizing agent in solution.
