Multiple Choice

Compounds of which of the following transition elements do not exhibit an oxidation state of +3?

ATi
Correct Answer
BZr
Correct Answer
CCu
Correct Answer
DNone

Solution

Highest Oxidation State for a Transition metal = Number of Unpaired d-electrons + Two s-orbital electrons
$$Ti$$ Titanium atomic number $$22= [Ar]4s^23d^2$$. Oxidation state $$ = + 4$$
$$Zr$$ Zirconium atomic number $$40= [Kr]5s^24d^2$$. Oxidation state $$ = + 4$$
$$Cu$$ Copper atomic number $$29= [Ar]4s^13d^{10}$$. Oxidation state $$ = +1, +2$$
