Question

The general electronic configuration $(n-1)d^{8}n{s}^2$ indicates that the particular element belongs to :

• A. VIII group
• B. V B group
• C. IV B group
• D. II B group

Answer 1

The correct option is A VIII group

The general electronic configuration $(n-1)d^{8}n{s}^2$ indicates that the particular element belongs to VIII group (group 10).
It is member of transition metals. An example is $Ni$ with electronic configuration $\left[Ar\right]3d^{8}4s^2$
