उत्तर
In transition metals, the oxidation state changes from +1 to higher states by a gradual change of one. For example, in manganese it is found to be +2, +3, +4, +5, +6, +7. In non-transition metals, the change is selective and generally changes by a difference of 2. For example, the oxidation states of Sn are +2 and +4.
