Maximum oxidation state is shown by:
Among the given options, Americium () shows the maximum oxidation state. While lanthanoids like Lanthanum (), Gadolinium (), and Europium () predominantly exhibit a oxidation state (with also showing ), actinoids exhibit a larger range of oxidation states due to the comparable energies of , , and levels. Americium () can show and oxidation states, making it the one with the maximum oxidation state among the choices.
