Question

In electronic configuration of Pd, Ag and Cd, d¹⁰ electrons are present even then Pd and Ag are considered transition elements, while Cd is not considered transition element.Explain by giving reasons.

Answer 1

tansition metals or elements are those elements which have unfilled d orbital of their ground state or their stable oxidation state i.e. +2. Both have 10 electrons to their d orbital but in +2 o.s Cd have 10 electrons. Hence .....
