In some simple cases, when transition metals are in solution in water without a complex matrix, the UV spectra of different oxidation states of transition metals are different: Fe2+ and FE3+ Cr3+/Cr6+...complexes can be formed with organic molecules with different spectra for different oxidation states, and FIA (Flow Injection Analysis) can be used. In difficult cases (complex mixtures) multivariate models can be used successfully (PLS), but elaborating calibration models can be tedious! Di Benedetto
transition metals have variable oxidation states
Metals form cations and have positive oxidation states.
The early vs. late transition metals differ in their oxidation states (each metal has different possible oxidation states). Electrons have a stronger attraction to the protons in the late transition metals, so the later transition metals form bonds that are harder to break.

Roman numerals are used to indicate oxidation states.
Transition metals have multiple oxidation states due to the number of electrons that an atom loses, gains, or uses when joining another atom in compounds. It also determined the ability of an atom to reduce.

Preferably in modern nomenclature, by capital "Roman numerals" within parentheses immediately following the name of a transition metal element cation in a chemical compound. For transition metal elements that have only two common cationic oxidation states, the oxidation states can alternatively be indicated by the suffix "ic" for the more positive oxidation state and "ous" for the less positive ones. Examples are "ferric" for "iron (III)" and "ferrous" for "iron (II)". If the transition metal is in an anion, the most common indication is with suffixes and prefixes, but the appended oxidation state in parentheses can also be used. Details may be different for different transition metals and should be sought in an authoritative reference source.

Transition metals can move electrons between the outer shell and the d d orbital. For example, copper can either lose its 2 s electrons or move one of those s electrons into d orbital, which is one electron short of being full.
