Even though silver has `d^(10)` configuration, it is regarded as transition element Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The outer electronic configuration of silver is `- 4d^(10)5s^(-1)` It is having general electronic configuration of a transition element `(n - 1) d^(1-10) ns^(1-2)`. So silver is a transition element.
