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

Explanation

Electronic configuration of transition element : `(n-1)d^(1-10)ns^(1-2)`. Electronic configuration of non- transition element `:ns^(1-2) " or " ns^(2)np^(1-6)`. From comparison, it is quite evident that the transition elements have incomplete d- orbitals (s-orbitals in some cases ) while teh non-transition elements have no d-orbitals present in the valence shells of the atoms. This is responsible for the difference in the characteristics of the element belonging to these calssess of elements.
