What is the basic difference between the electronic configuration of transition and inner transition elements? |
| Answer» General electronic configuration of transition elements `=(n-1)d^(1-10)ns^(1-2)` and for inner transition elements `=(n-2)f^(1-14)(n-1)d^(0-1)ns^(0-2)` Thus in transition elements, last electron enters d-orbitals of penultimate shell while in inner transition elements, it enters f-orbital of antepenultimate shell. | |
