The d-electrons affect the properties of the transition elements to a great extent.(a) True(b) FalseI had been asked this question during an interview.The doubt is from General Properties of the Transition Elements (D-Block) topic in chapter D and F-Block Elements of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Correct choice is (a) True

Easiest explanation: The TRANSITION elements DIFFER from one ANOTHER only in the number of electrons in the d-orbitals of the penultimate shell. The d-orbitals of the transition elements project to the PERIPHERY of the atom more than s and p-orbitals. THEREFORE, the d-electrons affect the properties of transition elements to a great extent.
