Plz explain the trends of M^2+/M and M^3+/M^2+ standard electrode potentials of D-block elements. And also explain as to what they signify.

The above equations signifies the standard electrode potentials of some half–cells involving 3d-series of transition elements and their ions in aqueous solution, 

Electrode potential for a Mn+/M half-cell is a measure of the tendency for the reaction, Mn+(aq) + ne– → M(s)

Look out at this series:

Cu

 The above transition series expalin the trends of d- block elements in which the negative values of E° for the first series of transition elements (except for Cu2+/ Cu ) indicate that  metals should liberate hydrogen from dilute acids i.e., the reactions.
