A transition metal exists in its highest oxidation state. It is expected to behave as
- A a central metal in a coordination compound
- B an oxidising agent
- C a reducing agent
- D a chelating agent
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) an oxidising agent
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In highest oxidation state of transition metals can undergo reduction and thus act as the oxidising agent.
