MHT CET2008Chemistryd and f Block Elements
The general electronic configuration of the transition elements is
Options
- A(n-1) d¹⁰,(n+1) s²
- B(n-1) d¹⁻¹⁰,(n+1) s¹⁻²
- C(n-1) d¹⁻¹⁰, n p⁶, n s²
- D(n-1) d¹⁻¹⁰, n s¹⁻²
Correct answer
D. (n-1) d¹⁻¹⁰, n s¹⁻²
Step-by-step solution
Generally, d -block elements are called transition elements as they contain inner partially filled d -subshell. Thus, their general electronic configuration is (n-1) d¹⁻¹⁰, n s¹⁻²
