Name the d-block elements which do not have partially filled d-orbitals in their atoms or in their simple ions.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
Zn, Cd and Hg have (n – 1)d 10 ns 2 electron configuration in their atoms and (n – 1)d 10 ns 0 electron configuration in their most stable simple ions i.e. M 2+ . So they do not have partially filled d-orbitals in their atoms or in their simple ions.
