MCQ

Metals exhibit $........$ oxidation states in their compounds.

✓
Positive.
B
Negative.
C
Neutral.
D
None of these.

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

Positive.

As metals have great tendency in donating electrons it will have positive oxidation states.
For example $\ce{Na}$ is metal has atomic number $11$
So electronic configuration is $2, 8, 1$
So after donating one electron its octet get completed and become stable and becomes $\ce{Na}^+$
