8.23 How is the variability in oxidation states of transition metals different from that of the non transition metals? Illustrate with examples.

8.23 In transition metals, it can be observed that the oxidation state of the metal varies from +1 to +7 which is obtained by removing all its valence electrons. In transition elements the oxidation state differ by 1 unlike non transition elements whose oxidation state differs by 2, for example in transition metals (Cu²⁺, Cu³⁺ and Fe²⁺, Fe³⁺) and In non-transition elements, this variation is selective, always differing by 2, e.g. S exhibits +2, +4, +6 oxidation states and N exhibits +3, + 5, etc.
