Give examples and suggest reasons for the features of the transition metal chemistry: The highest oxidation state is exhibited in oxoanions of a metal.
Among transition metals, the highest oxidation state is exhibited in oxoanions of a metal. Oxygen is strong oxidising agent due to its high electronegtivity and smaller size. because of these properties Oxygen are able to oxidise the metal to its highest oxidation state. for example CrO42- shows +6 oxidation state.
