Silver atom has completely filled d-orbi...

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Silver `(Z = 47)` can exhibit `+2` oxidation state wherein it will have incompletely filled d-orbitals (4d), hence a transition element.
