Question

can anyone please tell why there are incomplete number of electrons in d shell in d block elements . please anyone answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

Any of the mettalic elements within Groups 3 to 12 in the periodic table that have an incomplete inner electron shell(d orbital) are called transition elements.

Due to incomplete penultimate shell(d orbital), and completely filled outermost shell(s orbital), the incoming electrons enters the penultimate shell to acquire stable configuration (either completely filled or half filled d orbital). Hence in case of transition elements, the added electrons fill the penultimate shell, and not the ultimate shell.

hope so it will be useful to you dear ☺️
