Answer:

Hence, in Ni, the ultimate and the penultimate shells are incompletely filled. The electronic configurations of zinc, cadmium and mercury (penultimate and ultimate shells) are (n−1)s2p6d10,ns2.

Answer:

The shells that are incompletely filled in transition elements are both penultimate shells and ultimate shells

Explanation:

  • Penultimate shells are those which are filled just before the valence shell
  • The ultimate shell is just another name for the valence shell
  • In transition elements, both penultimate and ultimate shells are partially filled
  • For example, Chromium is a transition element
  • The electronic configuration of Chromium is [Ar] 3d⁵ 4s¹
  • The 3d shell has a capacity of 10 electrons, but in chromium, only 4 electrons occupy the shell
  • The 3d shell is the penultimate shell
  • The 4s shell has a capacity of 2 electrons, but in chromium, only 1 electron occupies the shell
  • The 4s shell is the ultimate shell
