Chapter 11, Problem 111AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The name given to the series of ten elements in which the electrons are filled the orbital $3\text{d}$ is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

The periodic table consists of 4 different blocks of elements: s, p, d and f blocks. Groups $3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11\text{and}12$ make up the d block elements. They are placed in between s and p blocks in the periodic table. The general electronic configuration of d block elements is $\left(\text{n}-1\right){\text{d}}^{1-10}\text{n}{\text{s}}^{1-2}$.
