Q. In context with the transition elements, which of the following statements is incorrect?
(1) In the highest oxidation states of the first five transition elements (Sc to Mn), all the 4s
and 3d electrons are used for bonding.

bonding decreases.
(3) In addition to the normal oxidation states, the zero oxidation state is also shown by these
elements in complexes.
(4) In the highest oxidation states, the transition metal show basic character and form cationic
complexes.
