Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following transition metals can exhibit a +5 oxidation state?
Correct Answer: Vanadium
  • Step 1: Understand what oxidation states are. Oxidation states indicate the degree of oxidation of an atom in a compound.
  • Step 2: Identify transition metals. Transition metals are elements found in the d-block of the periodic table.
  • Step 3: Look for transition metals that can have a +5 oxidation state. This means they can lose five electrons.
  • Step 4: Check examples of transition metals. Vanadium (V) is one of the transition metals.
  • Step 5: Confirm that Vanadium can have a +5 oxidation state. In compounds like V2O5, Vanadium shows a +5 oxidation state.
