Practice question from Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties (NEET Preparation Chemistry), with the correct answer and a step-by-step solution.

easy · MCQ · Q-98004E

The general outer electronic configuration of dd-block elements is represented as:

  1. A.(n-1)d^{1-10} ns^{1-2}Correct answer
  2. B.(n-1)d^{0-10} ns^2
  3. C.nd^{1-10} (n-1)s^2
  4. D.(n-1)d^{1-10} ns^0

Solution

The dd-block elements are characterized by the filling of inner dd-orbitals, and their general outer electronic configuration is (n−1)d1−10ns1−2(n-1)d^{1-10} ns^{1-2} (with exceptions like Cr and Cu where ns1ns^1 configuration is adopted for stability).
