Answer:
The number of d-electrons range from 1 (in Sc) to 10 (in Cu and Zn). ... Scandium is one of the two elements in the first transition metal period which has only one oxidation state (zinc is the other, with an oxidation state of +2). All the other elements have at least two different oxidation states
