The d-block elements exhibit variable oxidation states. The serveral different oxidation states shown by the d-block elements is related to their

A

electronic configurations

B

electropositive characters

C

atomic masses

D

atomic sizes

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The d-block elements exhibit a wide range of oxidation states differing usually by units of one. This is due to the fact that their (n-1) d electrons get involved along with their ns electrons in bonding.
