(i) Give the general electronic configuration of d-block elements, (ii) Silver atom has completely filled d-orbitals (4d^10) in its ground state. Yet, it is considered as transition element. Why? (iii) Cu^+ ion is not stable in aqueous solution. Explain. (iv) Actinoids contraction is greater from element to element than lanthanoid contraction. Why?

Explain the following terms : (a) Chemistry of all Lanthanoids is so identical . (b) Silver atom has completely filled d- orbitals (4d^(10)) in its ground state . How can you say that is a transition elements ?
