Why scandium show only +3 oxidation state

It can form a +3 ion to achieve a noble gas configuration. The energy need for removing one more electron from Sc(+1) is very high, hence it it very difficult to form a +2 oxidation state. Therefore, the 3+ oxidation state is quite common for Scandium.

hey buddy!! here's your answer...
scandium atomic number is ✴️21... it has only ✔️3 electrons in its valence shell... hence it is able to excite only 3 electrons and shows +3 oxidation state
hope it helps !! ❤️✌️
