Hi, I am currently taking an Introduction to Chemistry class ans this week's homework is about transition metals. I have searched everywhere (or almost everyhere) but can't seem to find anything relative to my topic.

The question I have to answer is why some transition elements have a -1 charge and which ones are the most likely to get that charge. (we're supposed to be taking into account quantum mechanics and electron configurations to come up with the answer)

I would greatly appreciate any input on this matter.

Thank you!

Negative charges only obtained in organic complexes.
