Give reasons:
Among transition metals, the highest oxidation state is exhibited in oxoanions of a metal.

Oxygen is strong oxidising agent due to its high electronegtivity and smaller size.
because of these properties Oxygen are able to oxidise the metal to its highest oxidation state.
for example CrO42- shows +6 oxidation state.

    Given below are the electrode potential values, E° for some of the first row of transition elements:
    Elements V(23) Cr(24) Mn(25)Fe(26)Co(27)Ni(28) Cu(29)
    E°M2+/M(V) –1.18 – 0.91 – 0.44 – 0.28 –0.28 –0.25 +0.34
    Explain the irregularities in these values on the basis of electronic structures of atoms.
