Question

Why transition metals exhibit variable oxidation states?

Answer 1

Transition elements show variable state oxidation in their compounds. Reason of variable oxidation state is that there is a very small energy difference in between ( n-1 )d and ns-orbitals . As a result electrons of ( n-1 )d orbitals as well as ns-orbitals take part in bond formation.
