Most of transition metals show variable oxidation states. Explain

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Transition elements can have different oxidation states. Most of the elements show variable oxidation states. The reason being when transition metals from compound, the electron present in ns and (n-1)d orbital can participate bonding due to almost similar energies.
