    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.
