Question

Silver has completly filled d orbital in ground state how can you say transistion element

Answer 1

=> The transition elements are those elements having a partially filled d or f subshell in any common oxidation state.

=> The term "transition elements" most commonly refers to the d-block transition elements.

=> Ag has a completely filled 4d orbital (4d10 5s1) in its ground state.

=> Now, silver displays two oxidation states (+1 and +2).

=> In the +1 oxidation state, an electron is removed from the s-orbital.

=> However, in the +2 oxidation state, an electron is removed from the d-orbital.
