    Variable oxidation state and degenerated orbital shows:

    A) s-block element

    B)        p-block element

    C) d-block element              

    D) all of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The general electronic configuration of d- block elements is \[(n-1){{d}^{1-10}},n{{s}^{1-2}}.\] They show variable oxidation state because d- electrons also take part in bond formation. They have degenerated orbitals. s and p -block elements in general do not show variable oxidation states.
