Answer:
Explanation:
The fact that manganese has a stable oxidation state in which it has (formally) lost all its d electrons does not mean that it cannot be considered a transition metal, because it still has a lot of other oxidation states (like +II in Mn2+ or +VI in MnO42−) with partially filled d orbitals.
