In what way is the electronic configuration of the transition elements different from that of the non-transition elements ? |
| Answer» SOLUTION :Transition ELEMENTS contain incompletely filled d-subshell, i.e., their electronic CONFIGURATION is `(n-1)d^(1-10)NS^(0-2)`, whereas non-transition elements have either no d-subshell or their d-subshell is completely filled and have `ns^(1-2)` or `ns^(2)np^(1-6)` in their outermost shell. | |
