Compare the oxidation states of the first series of the transition metals with those of the second and third series metals

Options

  1. AThe first series of transition metals generally exhibit higher oxidation states than the second and third seri
  2. BThe oxidation states of all three series of transition metals are identical.
  3. C+2 and +3 oxidation states are more common for elements in the first transition series, while higher oxidation
  4. DThe third series of transition metals generally exhibit lower oxidation states than the first and second serie

Correct answer

C. +2 and +3 oxidation states are more common for elements in the first transition series, while higher oxidation

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (C) +2 and +3 oxidation states are more common for elements in the first transition series, while higher oxidation states are more common for the heavier elements
