In what way is the electronic configuration of transition elements different from non transition elements ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`rarr` The general electronic configuration of transition elements is `(n-1)d^(1-10)ns^(1-2)`
`rarr` The general electronic configuration of non-transition elements is `(n-1)d^(10)ns^(2)`
