Which element of the following shows max. oxidation state:
Correct answer: C. Mn
- A. P
- B. S
- C. Mn
- D. Cr
Explanation
Transition elements, which are shown in B subgroups of the periodic table, also show the oxidation states equal to their group number as it can be seen for Cu(I), Zn(II), V(V), Cr(VI) and Mn (VII). But due to greater number of valence electrons available in partly filled d-orbitals these elements usually, show more than one oxidation states in their compoundsMn has greater number of oxidation state which is till +7

About Periodic Properties and Trends
Periodic properties arise from electron configuration and effective nuclear charge, producing trends in atomic and ionic radius, ionization energy, electron affinity, electronegativity, metallic character and reactivity. Comparisons run across periods and down groups, with attention to common exceptions. The topic also relates these trends to the behavior of s-block and p-block elements.
