They are all metals

They show variable oxidation states which always differ by two units

Answers (1)

best_answer

Transition elements are all metals and generally show variable oxidation states.

Unlike p Block elements which show a difference in oxidation states by two, these elements show a difference of oxidation state of only one unit. This is because of incomplete filling up of electrons in the d orbitals.

Due to small size and high charge density, they can form complexes

Therefore, option (2) is correct.
