Silver atom has completely filled d orbi...

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Transition element is defined as the one which has incompletely filled d orbital in its ground state or in any one of its oxidation state . Cu in its +2 oxidation state exhibit `4d^(9)` E.C. That is why it is considered as a transition element.
