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

AI Generated Solution

To determine how silver can be classified as a transition element despite having a completely filled `d` orbital in its ground state, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Transition Elements**: - Transition elements are defined as elements that have partially filled `d` orbitals in at least one of their oxidation states. This means that for an element to be classified as a transition metal, it should not have completely filled `d` orbitals. 2. **Electronic Configuration of Silver**: ...
