Question:
What is the maximum oxidation state of an element in the periodic table?
What is the maximum oxidation state of an element in the periodic table?
Show Hint
The maximum oxidation state of an element typically corresponds to its group number for elements in the s and p blocks. However, transition metals can exhibit higher oxidation states.

- \( +7 \)
- \( +6 \)
- \( +5 \)
- \( +4 \)

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The maximum oxidation state of an element depends on its group number and the number of valence electrons.
For example, manganese (Mn) in Group 7 of the periodic table has an oxidation state of \( +7 \) in \( \text{MnO}_4^- \) (permanganate ion).
Thus, \( +7 \) is the maximum oxidation state.
