Given below are the electrode potential values, E° for some of the first row of transition elements:
Elements V(23) Cr(24) Mn(25)Fe(26)Co(27)Ni(28) Cu(29)
E°M2+/M(V) –1.18 – 0.91 – 0.44 – 0.28 –0.28 –0.25 +0.34
Explain the irregularities in these values on the basis of electronic structures of atoms.

It is due to irregular variations in sum of first and second ionisation energy and sublimation energies. It is also due to stability of electronic configuration.
