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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Transition elements contain partially filled dsubshell, ie., their electronic configuration ts .(n-1) d^(0-2) n s^(0-2). whereas non-transition elements Rliáe.no d-substiell ór theird-subshell is completely ftlled:s-block eleménts have their innerd-subshells etinpty and publock elements have their inner d-sübshells filled (d .^(10). ). Non-trànșition elements. héve ris .^(1-2). or .(ns)^(2) (np)^( l-6 ). in their valence shells.
