Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Reason for why transition metals have more oxidation states than other elements have to be explained. The highest oxidation state for scandium to copper has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Transition elements contain either d subshell which are incomplete or that can form cations having incomplete d subshell.

Stability of the metals: The partially-filled and completely filled orbitals are highly stable than the incompletely filled orbitals.

Oxidation number: The total number of electrons in an atom after losing or gaining electrons to make a bond with another atom. It indicates the charge of an ion.

Highest Oxidation states: The removal of maximum number of electrons from an element gives the highest oxidation state.
