Question:
Which of the following does not show variable oxidation state?
Which of the following does not show variable oxidation state?
Show Hint
Look for elements with incomplete d-subshells for those exhibiting variable oxidation states.
Updated On: Jun 25, 2025
- Sc
- Mn
- Cr
- Cu
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Scandium (Sc) does not show variable oxidation states because its only stable oxidation state is +3. Elements like Mn, Cr, and Cu are known for exhibiting multiple oxidation states due to the availability of d-electrons.

- An electric dipole of dipole moment \( 1.0 \times 10^{-12} \ \text{Cm} \) lies along the x-axis. An electric field of magnitude \( 2.0 \times 10^4 \ \text{NC}^{-1} \) is switched on at an instant in the region. The unit vector along the electric field is \( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \hat{i} + \frac{1}{2} \hat{j} \). The magnitude of the torque acting on the dipole at that instant is:
