Question:

Identify the correct statements from the following: (i) Ti (IV) is more stable than Ti (III) and Ti (II)
(ii) Among 3d-series elements (from Z = 22 to 29) only copper has positive reduction potential (\( M^{2+}/M \)) (iii) Both Sc and Zn exhibit +1 oxidation state

Show Hint

Titanium prefers the +4 oxidation state due to noble gas configuration, and Cu is unique in its positive reduction potential.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

(i) True: Titanium(IV) is the most stable oxidation state of titanium due to its noble gas-like electronic configuration. (ii) True: Among 3d-series elements, only copper (Cu) has a positive standard reduction potential, making it unique. (iii) False: Scandium (Sc) and Zinc (Zn) do not exhibit a stable +1 oxidation state; Sc commonly shows +3, and Zn shows +2.
