Question
Give an example and suggest a reason for the following feature of the transition metal chemistry:
The highest oxidation state is exhibited in oxoanions of a metal.
Advertisements
Solution
Metal oxoanions show higher oxidation states, for example, in \[\ce{Cr2O^{2-}_7}\] the oxidation state of Cr is +6, while in \[\ce{MnO^-_4}\] the oxidation state of Mn is +7. The reason for the combination of metal with oxygen is that oxygen is highly electronegative and, more importantly, it has a strong ability to form multiple bonds (π-bonds) with the transition metal.
