Step 1: Identify the period of each element.& nbsp;

The given elements belong to the following periods:

\[ \begin{aligned} \mathrm{Pd} & amp;\rightarrow \text{5th period},\\ \mathrm{Cd} & amp;\rightarrow \text{5th period},\\ \mathrm{Ag} & amp;\rightarrow \text{5th period},\\ \mathrm{Pt} & amp;\rightarrow \text{6th period}. \end{aligned} \]

Step 2: Identify the element that does not belong to the fifth period.
