Q. $+3$ oxidation state is most common in

UP CPMTUP CPMT 2007

Solution:

$+3$ oxidation state is most common in $Fe$ as electronic configuration of $Fe$ is $3d^{6} \,4s^{2}$.
Therefore electronic configuration o f Fe(III) is $3d^{5}\, 4s^{0}$ due to the extra stability associated with half-filled orbitals
