Which of the following is the common oxidation state for 'transition' elements?
- A 3
- B 1
- C 2
- D 4
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 2
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Transition metals commonly exhibit +2 oxidation state because only two electrons can exist in an \(s\)-orbital, and removing the electrons from the sub shell below it requires immense amounts of energy, this limits them to a +2 charge most of the time. Hence, the correct option…
