Question

Copper atom has completely filled d- orbitals in the ground state but it is a tranisition element why?

Answer 1

Since copper atom comes in d block elements it's ground state is not actually filled it is partially filled and d 9 atoms so from s shell 1 atom is attracted to d shell as to complete d 10 so it is considered as transition element

Answer 2

Answer:

Expert verified Answer

Explanation:

(i) Copper atom has completely field d orbitals (3d10) in its ground state, it is regarded as a transition element. (ii) Cr2+ is a stronger reducing agent than Fe2+ in aqueous solutions. ... Hence, it is a transition element.
