Transition elements exhibit more than one oxidation state because the inner d-electrons i.e. (n-1)d invove in bondingalong with outer i.e. nS electrons as the energy gap between(n-1)d and nS is less.

Almost all of the transition metals have multiple potential oxidation states. ... All the other elements have at least two different oxidation states.
