    The common oxidation states of \[Ti\] are

    A) \[+2\]and \[+3\]      

    B)        \[+3\] and\[+4\]

    C) \[-3\]and \[-4\]               

    D) \[+2,+3\]and \[+4\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The minimum oxidation state in transition metal is equal to the number of electrons in 4s shell and the maximum oxidation state is equal to the sum of the 4s and 3d electrons. \[Ti=[Ar]3{{d}^{2}}4{{s}^{2}}\] Hence minimum oxidation state is \[+2\] and maximum oxidation state is \[+4\]. Thus the common oxidation states of \[Ti\] are \[+2,+3\] and \[+4\]
