    Which of the following transition element, shows the highest oxidation state?

    A)  Cr                          

    B)         V                           

    C)  Fe                         

    D)         Mn

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Manganese has the following electronic configuration \[{}_{25}Mn=1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{5}},4{{s}^{2}}\] It shows +7 oxidation state by losing all the seven electrons in 3d and 4s-sub-shells. Thus, it shows maximum oxidation state. (e.g., in \[KMn{{O}_{4}},\]O.S. of \[Mn=+7\])
