QUESTION -
Why are the transition elements known as D block elements?
ANSWER -
The d block elements are called transition elements because of their position between the s-block and p-block elements in the periodic table.
✔️Typically, the transition elements have an incompletely filled d-shell. Zn, Cd and Hg have d10 configuration i.e. the d shell is complete. The compounds of these elements are not typical and show some difference from others
