प्रश्न
To what extent do the electronic configurations decide the stability of oxidation states in the first series of the transition elements? Illustrate your answer with examples.

उत्तर
- The ions in the oxidation state, in which the ions have fully filled or half-filled d shells, are more stable.
- For example, the +2 state of Mn is more stable than its other oxidation states.
- Because Mn2+ has a half-filled 3d5 shell. Similarly, the +2 state of Zn is its most stable state because it has a fully filled 3d10 shell.
