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.
