Which of the following shows highest oxidation number in combined state?
- A. \( O s \)
- B. \( R u \)
- C. Both (1) \& (2)
- D. None
Step-by-step solution
Both osmium (Os) and ruthenium (Ru) can exhibit a maximum oxidation state of +8 in compounds like OsO₄ and RuO₄. Therefore, both show the highest oxidation number in combined state.
