Answer:
Because they show different energy level the t transition elements possess the electronic configuration as
(n - 1)d(1 - 10)ns(0 - 2). They also exhibit variable oxidation states and among these elements Manganese have the electronic configuration as3d(5)
4s(2) consists of a maximum oxidation states of+7and minimum of+2. It is due to the presence of a total of 7 electrons and 3d orbital and 4s orbital in case of Manganese
