Question

What is Group 10 on the periodic table called?

Answer 1

The characteristics of the Group 10 of the periodic table are given below:

1. Nickel ($\mathrm{Ni}$), Palladium ($\mathrm{Pd}$), Platinum ($\mathrm{Pt}$), and maybe the chemically uncharacterized Darmstadtium ($\mathrm{Ds}$) are the chemical elements in Group 10 of the periodic table, as designated by the current IUPAC.
2. These are known as transition metals of the d-Block elements are those that are filled up entirely with electrons with the outer electronic configuration.
3. These metals range in colour from white to light grey, have a high sheen, are resistant to tarnish (oxidation), are very ductile, and can be found in oxidation states of $+2,+4,\mathrm{and}+1$ being seen in rare circumstances.
4. The atomic number of Nickel, Palladium, Platinum, and Darmstadtium are 28, 46, 78, and 110.
5. From top to bottom, the elements belong to periods 3 to 7, with a number of shells ranging from 3 to 7.
6. Members of this group, like those of other groups, display patterns in electron configuration, notably in the outermost shells, though these patterns are relatively weak for this group, with palladium being an exception.
7. Darmstadtium isotopes are all radioactive with short half-lives and are not found in nature; only small amounts have been created in a laboratory.
8. The atomic radii of the group 10 elements:

Elements	Atomic radii (pm)
Nickel	163
Palladium	163
Platinum	175
Darmstadtium	132
