Give the general electronic configuration of
(i) Transition elements (ii) Inner transition elements.
(i) Transition elements:
(n - 1)d1-10 ns1-2.
(ii) Inner transition elements:
(n - 2)f1-14 (n - 1)d0-1 ns2.
Tips: -
In terms of electronic configuration,
what is common in a given period and group?
Why are there 10 elements in each series of d-block?
As the d-subshell can have a maximum of ten electrons.
