Question

Write general electronic configuration of d-block and f-block elements.

Hint:

d-block elements are also called transition elements, while f-block elements include inner transition metals.

Answer 1

- d-block elements: \( (n-1)d^{1-10}ns^{0-2} \). - f-block elements: \( (n-2)f^{1-14}(n-1)d^{0-1}ns^2 \).
