Transition elements show variable state oxidation in their compounds because there is a very small energy difference in between (n-1)d and ns orbitals. As a result, electrons of (n-1)d orbitals as well as ns-orbitals take part in bond formation.
(i) Mn(Z-25) has the maximum number of unpaired electrons present in the d-subshell so it shows maximum oxidation states(+7).
(ii) Sc only exhibits a +3 oxidation state in these series.
