Transition element Vanadium mostly act as
Correct answer: D. Reducing agent
- A. Amphoteric
- B. Neutral
- C. Oxidizing agent
- D. Reducing agent
Explanation
Vanadium can act as a reducing agent in various chemical reactions. A reducing agent is a substance that donates electrons to another species, thereby reducing that species' oxidation state while itself being oxidized.Vanadium has multiple oxidation states, typically ranging from +5 to -2. In its lower oxidation states, such as +2 and +3, vanadium can readily donate electrons.

About Transition Elements
Transition elements are identified by their partially filled d subshells in atoms or common ions. The topic covers the electronic structure of d-block elements, including the filling order of 4s and 3d orbitals, variable oxidation states and the distinction between transition elements and elements with completely filled d subshells.
