Question

Which shows +6 oxidation state in fluorides?

• A. \( \text{Mo} \)
• B. \( \text{Fe} \)
• C. \( \text{Cr} \)
• D. \( \text{Mn} \)

Hint:

Chromium is known to exhibit a +6 oxidation state in compounds like chromium hexafluoride, which is a common example.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The element chromium (Cr) commonly shows a +6 oxidation state in its fluorides, specifically in chromium hexafluoride (CrF)\(_6\). In this compound, chromium is in the +6 oxidation state. Other elements like Mo, Fe, and Mn generally do not exhibit a +6 oxidation state in their fluorides. Thus, the correct answer is Cr.
