उत्तर १
The lowest oxide has the lowest oxidation state of the transition metal. Hence, the oxide is basic and tends to react with acids to get oxidised to attain a higher oxidation state. Whereas the highest oxides are formed in higher oxidation states. As a result, these oxides are amphoteric acidic. For example, MnO is basic, whereas Mn2O7 is acidic.
उत्तर २
In the case of a lower oxide of a transition metal, the metal atom has some electrons present in the valence shell of the metal atom that are not involved in bonding. As a result, it can donate electrons and act as a base, whereas in the higher oxide of a transition metal, the metal atom lacks an electron in the valence shell to donate. As a result, it can accept electrons and behave as an acid.
