Question

The transition elements have a characteristic electronic

configuration which can be represented as –

• A. (n – 2) s²p⁶d^{1 – 10}(n – 1) s²p⁶ns²
• B. (n – 2) s²p⁶d^{1 – 10}(n – 1) s²p⁶d^{1 or 2}ns¹
• C. (n – 1) s²p⁶d¹⁰ns²np⁶nd^{1 – 10}
• D. (n – 1) s²p⁶d^1–10ns^{1 or 2}

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

(n – 1) s²p⁶d^1–10ns^{1 or 2}

Answer 2

(n–1) s² p⁶ d^{1– 10} ns^{1 or 2}
