The transition element which shows fixed 2+ oxidation state in its compound is:
Correct answer: A. Zn
- A. Zn
- B. Fe
- C. Cu
- D. Mn
Explanation
Zn, with a filled 3d shell, has an oxidation state of +2 and does not exhibit multiple oxidation states as transition metal atoms do, even though it is classified as a transition metal.

About Transition Elements
Transition elements are identified by their partially filled d subshells in atoms or common ions. The topic covers the electronic structure of d-block elements, including the filling order of 4s and 3d orbitals, variable oxidation states and the distinction between transition elements and elements with completely filled d subshells.
