Silver atom has completely filled d orbi...

Silver atom has completely filled d orbitals `(4d^(10))` in its ground state. How can you that it is a transition element ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Ag (Z = 47) atom has outer electronic configuration `4d^(10)5s^(1)`. In addition to + 1, it exhibits an oxidation states of + 2, where it has incompletely filled d - orbital `(4d^(9))`. Hence, it is a transition element.
