well Scandium has 4s2 and 3d1 outer electrons - all the way up to copper with 4s1 3d10 and Manganese 4s2 3d5 so Scandium is pretty much limited to +3 though other states are rarely possible but Manganese can have +2 with just the s electrons removed all the way to +7 with all removed. There are just more opportunities with transition elements because of the arrangement of bonding electrons and it being energetically feasible to remove them

What is disproportionality?

In these reaction, an element simultaneously undergoes oxidation as well as reduction. This is possible only when the element exhibits minimum three different oxidation states and on the reactant side, it is present in an intermediate oxidation state while higher and lower oxidation states are exhibited by it in the form of products.

What is the oxidation state of an element?

In chemistry, the oxidation state is a number assigned to an element as an indicator of the degree of oxidation of an atom in a chemical compound."The charge an element would have if it were an ion "Oxidation state is the same as the oxidation number. It is an indicator of the degree of oxidation of an atom in a chemical compound.
