The general valence shell electronic configuration of transition elements is

A

`(n - 1) d^(1-10) ns^(1-2)`

B

`(n - 1) d^(0-10) ns^(1-2)`

C

`(n - 1) d^(1-10) ns^(0-2)`

D

`(n - 1) d^(1-10) ns^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Transition elements are characterized the fact that the last electron enters the d-subshell of penultimate shell. In Pt there is no electron in the ns subshell. Thus, the transition elements have a general electronic configuration:
`(n - 1) d^(1-10) ns^(0-2)`
