MCQ
Metals exhibit ..... oxidation states in their compounds.
- APositive.
- BNegative.
- CNeutral.
- DNone of these.
✓
Answer
- Positive.
Explanation:
As metals have great tendency in donating electrons it will have positive oxidation states.
For example Na is metal has atomic number 11
So electronic configuration is 2, 8, 1
So after donating one electron its octet get completed and become stable and becomes Na+
