These elements have completely filled d-orbitals but their ions in their stable oxidation state have incomplete d-orbitals. Hence they show general properties of transition elements

Answer:
These elements have completely filled d-orbitals but their ions in their stable oxidation state have incomplete d-orbitals. Hence they show general properties of transition elements.
Explanation:
Ag has a completely filled 4d orbital (4d10 5s1) in its ground state. ... Thus, the d-orbital now becomes incomplete (4d9). Hence, it is a transition element. wherein it will have incompletely filled d-orbitals (4d), hence a transition metal.
