In context with the transition elements, which of the following statements is incorrect?

A

In addition to the normal oxidation states, the zero oxidation state is also shown by these elements in complexes.

B

In the highest oxidation state, the transition metal show.basic character and form cationic complexes.

C

In the highest oxidation state of the first five transition elements (Sc to Mn), all the 4s and 3d electrons are used for bonding.

D

Once the d configuration is exceeded, the tendency to involve all the 3d electrons in bonding decreases.
