The transition metal ions can have various oxidation states. The fact that the transition metal ions usually prefer to exist as Mx+ ions is because: A. The transition metals are easily ionized by the addition of electrons to give Mx+ ions. B. The transition metal elements have very high ionization energies and are not easily ionized. C. The transition metals are easily ionized by the loss of electrons to give Mx+ ions.
