Question

The general outer electronic configuration of transition elements is exhibited by:

• A. $n{s}^1$
• B. $n{s}^{2}n{p}^5$
• C. $n{s}^2(n-1)d^{1-10}$
• D. $n{s}^2(n-1)d^{10}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $n{s}^2(n-1)d^{1-10}$

General outer electronic configuration of transition elements is $n{s}^2(n-1)d^{1-10}$.
