Inner transition elements have atomic numbers from 58 to 71 and 90 to 103. Hence, the atomic numbers 59, 95 and 102 are the atomic numbers of the inner transition elements.
The elements in the first-half of the transition series exhibit many oxidation states with Mn
exhibiting maximum number of oxidation states (+2 to +7). The stability of +2 oxidation state increases...
Transition elements are those elements in which the atoms or ions (in stable oxidation state) contain partially filled d-orbital. These elements lie in the d-block and show a transition of...
Transition metals have a partially filled d−orbital. Therefore, the electronic configuration of transition elements is (n − 1)d1-10 ns0-2.
The non-transition elements either do not have a d−orbital or have a...
Inner transition metals are those elements in which the last electron enters the f-orbital. The elements in which the 4f and the 5f orbitals are progressively filled are called f-block...
i. The variability in oxidation states of transition metals is due to the incomplete filling of d-orbitals in such a way that their oxidation states differ from each other by...
