Which metal in the first series of transition metals exhibits +1 oxidation state most frequently and why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Cu has the electronic configuration `3d^(10)4s^(1)`. It can easily lose `4s^(1)` electron to give the stable `3d^(10)` configuration. Hence, it shows +1 oxidation state.
