    The  outer  electronic  configuration  of transitional elements is

    A)  \[(n-1)\,{{s}^{2}}n{{d}^{1-5}}\]

    B)  \[(n+1)\,{{s}^{2}}n{{d}^{1-5}}\]

    C)  \[(n+1)\,{{s}^{2}}{{p}^{6}}(n-1)\,{{d}^{1-10}},n{{s}^{0-2}}\]

    D)  \[n{{s}^{2}}(n+1)\,{{d}^{1-10}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Key Idea The outer electronic configuration of s-block, p-block, d-block and f-block are following s-block  \[n{{s}^{1-2}}\] p-block \[n{{s}^{2}}\,n{{p}^{1-6}}\] d-block (transitional elements) \[(n-1)\,{{s}^{2}}(n-1)\,{{p}^{6}}\,(n-1)\,{{d}^{1-10}}n{{s}^{1-2}}\] but in case of Pd the electronic configuration of outermost shell is \[n{{s}^{0}}\]. \[f\]-block In the \[f\]-block elements the last electron is added to the third to the outermost energy level, ie, \[(n-2)f\]. Their three outermost shells are partially filled with electron. The  outer electronic  configuration  of transitional elements is as                 \[(n-1)\,{{s}^{2}}{{p}^{6}}\,(n-1)\,{{d}^{1-10}}n{{s}^{0-2}}\]
