Silveratomhas completelyfilled d- orbitals(4d^(10)) in itsgroundstate . Howcan yousaythat it istransitionelement ?

Answer»

Solution :(i)Silverin its+1oxidationstateexhibits`4d^(10) 5S^(0)`configuration
(ii) But in some compounds , it alsoshows +2oxidationstateso theconfigurationbecomes `4d^(9) 5s^(0)`
(iii)Hered- orbitalis notcompletely filledThereforesilveris atransitionelement .
