Solution
The correct option is C Statement 1 is correct but Statement 2 is not correct. Statement 1: Transition elements in a particular period may have the same oxidation number. Statement 2: They have incomplete outer energy level. The valence shell electronic configuration of transition elements is (n−1)dns. Thus, nth level has only one or two electrons in s subshell. Statement 1 is correct but Statement 2 is not correct.
