Transition elements are elements of :
As block
Bp block
Cf block
Dd block
Answer:
D. d block
Read Explanation:
-
Elements in which last electron enters in d orbitals are known as d-block elements.
-
All transition elements are d block elements and have unpaired d-orbital electron/s either in their ground state or in any stable excited state.
-
For some d-block elements like Zn, Cd, and Hg, the ground state or stable excited state lacks unpaired electron in d-orbital.
-
So, these elements do not show most of the properties of transition element. Thus, on the basis of electronic configuration, all d block elements such as Zn, Cd and Hg are not the transition elements.
