What is transition metals oxidation state?

An atom that accepts an electron to achieve a more stable configuration is assigned an oxidation number of -1. The donation of an electron is then +1. When a transition metal loses electrons, it tends to lose it's s orbital electrons before any of its d orbital electrons.

The nucleus inside an atom consists of positively-charged  protons  and neutrally-charged  neutrons. a  proton  is a subatomic particle with a positive electric charge. allprotons  are identical.
