Question

Relative stability of different oxidation state

Answer 1

$\huge{\underline{\underline {\mathtt{\purple{A}\pink{N}\green{S}\blue{W}\red{E}\orange{R}}}}}$

For example, in group 6, (chromium) Cr is most stable at a +3 oxidation state, meaning that you will not find many stable forms of Cr in the +4 and +5 oxidation states. By contrast, there are many stable forms of molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W) at +4 and +5 oxidation states. Oxidation State of Transition Metals in Compounds
