Q. Among the following outer electronic configurations of atoms, which atom can have the highest oxidation state?

$(n - 1) d^{3} n s^{2}$

$(n - 1) d^{5} n s^{1}$

$(n - 1) d^{8} n s^{2}$

$(n - 1) d^{5} n s^{2}$

$(n - 1) d^{5} n s^{2}$ can achieve the maximum oxidation state of + 7.

Q. Among the following outer electronic configurations of atoms, which atom can have the highest oxidation state?

(n−1)d3ns2

(n−1)d5ns1

(n−1)d8ns2

(n−1)d5ns2

(n−1)d5ns2 can achieve the maximum oxidation state of + 7.

$(n - 1) d^{3} n s^{2}$

$(n - 1) d^{5} n s^{1}$

$(n - 1) d^{8} n s^{2}$

$(n - 1) d^{5} n s^{2}$

$(n - 1) d^{5} n s^{2}$ can achieve the maximum oxidation state of + 7.
