    Why do transition metals exhibit a wide range of oxidation states?

    <p>Transition metals exhibit a wide range of oxidation states due to the ability of their d-orbitals to participate in bonding, resulting in the formation of multiple ions with different oxidation states.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the significance of the ionisation energy table in understanding the properties of transition metals?

    <p>The ionisation energy table is significant in understanding the properties of transition metals as it provides information about the energy required to remove electrons from the metal, which affects its reactivity and oxidation states.</p> Signup and view all the answers
