A transition metal ion exists in its highest oxidation state. It is expected to behave as

Options

  1. Aa chelating agent
  2. Ba central metal, in a coordination compound
  3. Can oxidising agent
  4. Da reducing agent

Correct answer

C. an oxidising agent

Step-by-step solution

If a transition metal ion exists in its highest oxidation state, then it behave as oxidising agent. The oxidation number of metal can only decrease from its highest oxidation number i.e. it will undergoes reduction and oxidise other element.
