Explain briefly how +2 states becomes more and more stable in the first half of the first row transition elements with increasing atomic number.

Answer»

Solution :`""_(21)SC ""_(22)TI""_(23)V""""_(24)Cr""_(25)Mn`
Sc(Z=21)`1S^(2)2s^(2)2p^(6)3s^(2)3P^(6)4s^(2)3d^(1)`
`Sc^(2+) [Ar] 3d^(1)Cr^(2+) [Ar] 4s^(1)3d^(1)`
`Ti^(2+) [Ar] 3d^(2)Mn^(2+) [Ar] 3d^(5)`
`V^(2+)[Ar]3d^(3)`
With the increase in the atomic number, the d-orbital becomes HALF filled and they becomes more stable.
