`3d-, 4d-` and `5d-` series consists of `10` elements each? Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In `3d, 4d` and `5d` series, the differenting electron enters to `(n-1)d`-subshell. The maximum capacity of `d`-subshell is to accommodate `10` electrons. Thus, there are `10` elements each in `3d, 4d` and `5d` series `[(n-1)d^(1-10)]`.

The 4d and 5d series of transition metals have more frequency metal-metal bonding in their compounds than do the 3d metals. Explain.

How would you account for the following? (i) Cr^(2+) is reducing in nature while with the same d-orbital configuration (d^14) Mn^(3+) is an oxidising agent. (ii) In a transition series of metals, the metal which exhibits the greatest number of oxidation states occurs in the middle of the series. (iii) Metal-metal bonding is more frequent for the 4d and the 5d series of transition metals than for the 3d series.

Assertion : The order of atomic radii of Cu, Ag and Au is Cu lt Ag ~~ Au . Reason : The atomic radii of 4d series elements are larger than those of 3d series elements but generally the radii of 4d and 5d series elements are almost identical.

Assertion : 4d and 5d series elements have nearly same atomic radius. Reason : Lanthanoid contraction.
