Given below are two statements : Statement-I : Ag is a transition element. Statement-II : Ag atom has completely filled dorbital ( (4 d¹⁰ )) in it's ground state. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Options

  1. ABoth Statement-I and II are incorrect.
  2. BStatement-I is correct while II is incorrect.
  3. CStatement-I and II both are correct.
  4. DStafement-I is incorrect and II is correct.

Correct answer

C. Statement-I and II both are correct.

Step-by-step solution

Identify the key characteristics of transition elements. Transition elements are defined by the presence of partially filled (d ) or (f ) orbitals in any of their ions. Determine if Ag meets the criteria for being a transition element. Ag (Silver) has an atomic number of 47, and its electronic configuration is [Kr] 4d10 5s1. In its ground state, the d orbital is completely filled (4d10), which does not meet the criteria for being a transition element. Evaluate Statement-I. Statement-I claims Ag is a transition elem
