What is the single factor that classifies an element as a transition metal?

7 0

The answer is b) the highest occupied orbital is a “d”orbital.
Transition metals are metals where the highest energy electrons partially fill the d subshells. There are some elements with complete d subshells but on forming cations they have incomplete d subshells.
These transition metals have some properties that are different from the other metals .

Since the question is incomplete, the table has been searched in order to comply with the question.

Based on the table that I have provided, the order of increasing depth from shallowest to deepest are the following; A,B,C,D,E. The reason that this is the order to be chosen because the one responsible for making water dense is the salt that is on the water and by that, the base is likely to sink whereas the ones with less salt won’t be as thick compared those who have much salt and will skim on its top.
