Which element from following is NOT considered as transition element on the basis of electronic configuration?
Options
- ATi
- BV
- CHg
- DAg
Correct answer
C. Hg
Step-by-step solution
Transition elements have partially filled d-orbitals. Hg =[ Xe ] 5 ~d ¹⁰ 6 ~s ^2 Among the given elements, Hg has completely filled d-orbital in its ground state. Hence, it is not considered as transition element. Thinking Hatke - Q. 29 Zn , Cd , Hg belongs to the same group having completely filled d-electrons.
