Question

Which of the following is the generalized electronic configuration of transition metals?

Answer 1

Transition metals:

• Transition metals belong to d-block elements.
• The transition metals consist of partially or completely filled d subshells in the element or cation.
• They are good conductors of heat and electricity.
• The groups from $3-12$ are transition metals.
• Some examples of transition metals are Iron$\left(\mathrm{Fe}\right)$, Chromium$\left(\mathrm{Cr}\right)$ and Zinc $\left(\mathrm{Zn}\right)$

Generalized electronic configuration of transition metals:

• The generalized electronic configuration of transition metals is $(n-1)d^{1-10}n{s}^{1-2}$.
