MHT CET · Chemistry · d and f Block Elements
Which element from following is NOT considered as transition element on the basis of electronic configuration?
- A Ti
- B V
- C Hg
- D Ag
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Hg
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Transition elements have partially filled d-orbitals.
\(\mathrm{Hg}=[\mathrm{Xe}] 5 \mathrm{~d}^{10} 6 \mathrm{~s}^2\)
Among the given elements, Hg has completely filled d-orbital in its ground state. Hence, it is not considered as transition element.
