Solution

Up to Mn, the maximum stable oxidation state corresponds to sum of s and d electrons. After Mn, there is decrease in the stability of higher oxidation states. The stable oxidation states of the transition elements with the following d electron configurations in the ground state of their atoms are as shown.
$3 d^{3} 4 s^{2} : + 5 3 d^{5} 4 s^{1} : + 1, + 6 3 d^{5} 4 s^{2} : + 2, + 7 3 d^{8} 4 s^{2} : + 2 3 d^{4} 4 s^{2} : + 1, + 6$
