Which of the following statements regarding transition elements is incorrect?
- AFor the first five transition elements ($Sc$ to $Mn$),all $4s$ and $3d$ electrons are used for bonding in their highest oxidation states.
- BAs the number of $3d$ electrons increases,the tendency to participate in bonding decreases.
- CTransition elements can exhibit zero oxidation state in complexes.
- DIn their highest oxidation states,transition metals exhibit basic properties and form ionic compounds.
