Question

If three electrons are lost by a metal ion M+3, its final oxidation number would be (A) zero (B) +6 (C) +2 (D) +4

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

On losing the three electrons the ion M3+ will further acquire a charge of + 3 units, hence the total + ve charge will be 6 units. Hence O.S. of M will be + 6.
