Identify the correct statement(s); (i) All Group 8 elements can easily achieve the group's maximum oxidation state +8. (ii) RuO₄ and OsO₄ are very volatile. (iii) Ruthenium organometallic compounds are important in catalysis. A) (ii) and (iii) B) (i) and (iii) C) (i) and (ii)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

(ii) is incorrect because RuO4 and OsO4, not RuO₄ and OsO₄, are very volatile. (i) is incorrect because not all Group 8 elements can easily achieve the +8 oxidation state; it's more common for Ru and Os. (iii) is correct as ruthenium organometallic compounds are indeed important in catalysis, for example, in hydrogenation reactions.
