General Properties Of The Transition Elements
Chapter Name : The D- And F- Block Elements
Sub Topic Code : 102_12_08_03_04
Topic Name : General Properties Of The Transition Elements
Sub Topic Name : Oxidation States
Introduction

      One of the notable features of a transition element is the great variety of oxidation states it may show in its compounds.

      The elements which give the greatest number of oxidation states occur in or near the middle of the series. Ex: Manganese, shows all the oxidation states from +2 to +7.

      The lesser number of oxidation states at the extreme ends stems from either too few electrons to lose or share (Sc, Ti) or too many d electrons.

      At the other end, the only oxidation state of zinc is +2
