Q. The highest oxidation state achieved by transition metal is given by:

J & K CETJ & K CET 2000

Solution:

The general electronic configuration of d-block elements is $(n-1) d^{1-10}\, n s^{1-2}$
Hence, the maximum oxidation state is achieved by transition metal is given by $n s+(n-1) d$ electrons.
