The Total solution for NCERT class 6-12
In what way is the electronicconfiguration of the transition elements different from that of the non-transitionelements?
Transition metals have apartially filled d−orbital. Therefore, the electronic configurationof transition elements is (n − 1)d1-10 ns0-2.
The non-transition elementseither do not have a d−orbital or have a fully filled d−orbital.Therefore, the electronic configuration of non-transition elements is ns1-2 orns2 np1-6.
