Give reason for the following features of transition metal chemistry: (i). The lowerst oxide of a transition metal (say, chromium, atomic number 24) is basic whereas the highest oxide is usually acidic. (ii) . Transitio metals sometimes oxhibit very low oxidation states such as +1 and 0.

The transition element ( with few exceptions ) show a large number of oxidation states . The various oxidation states are related to the electronic configuration of their atoms. The variable oxidation states of a transition metal is due to the involvement of (n-1)d and outer ns electrons . For the first five elements of 3d transition series , the minimum oxidation state is equal to the number of electrons in 4s shell and the maximum oxidation state is equal to the sum of 4s and 3d electrons. The relative stability of various oxidation states of a given element can be explained on the basis of stability of d^(0),d^(5) and d^(10) configuration . In 3d series, the maximum oxidation state is shown by
