HEY WELCOME TO MY PERFECT ANSWER-:)
⭕Oxidation state of d-block elements⭕
1.Energies of ns (n-1)d levels are almost same.Therefore, electrons from these levels are available for chemical bonding.Hence, the transition metals form compounds showing more than one ( variable) oxidation states.
2.The first row transition elements show variable oxidation states. Zn is an exception among them. As it has fully filled d-orbital, it exhibits only +2 oxidation state.
3.The transition elements shows oxidation states from +1 to +6.
