An element with atomic number 21 is a
Options
- Ahalogen
- Brepresentative element
- Ctransition element
- Dalkali metal
Correct answer
C. transition element
Step-by-step solution
The electronic configuration of element with atomic number 21 is 1 ~s ², 2 ~s ², 2 p ⁶, 3 ~s ², 3 p ⁶, 4 ~s ², 3 ~d ¹ Since this element contains partly filled orbital, so it is a -block element. -block elements are also known as transition elements.
