MCQ
A compound is in its low oxidation state. Then its will be
  • A
    Highly acidic
  • B
    Highly basic
  • Highest oxidising property
  • D
    Half acidic, half basic

Answer

Correct option: C.
Highest oxidising property
c
Since the element is in lowest oxidation state, it can further oxidize into higher oxidation state hence it can act as a reducing agent., thus shall exhibit Highest Reducing Property
