Question

Elements with Higher Oxidation state
(A) Acidic
(B) Basic
(C) Amphoteric
(D) Peroxides ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Acidic

Explanation:

As the oxidation state of the central atom becomes larger, the acidity of the molecule increases. An atom becomes more electronegative as the oxidation number increases. ... This then causes the oxygen atoms to become more electronegative. The O-H bond then becomes more polar and therefore more acidic.
