⭐ Elements in which the last electron enters any one of the five d-oribitals of their respective penultimate shells are called as <u>d-block</u><u> </u><u>elem</u><u>ents</u> .
⭐ But the last electron of Zn , Cd , Hg and Cn enters in the s-oribital of their respective ultimate shells rather than the d-oribitals of their respective penultimate shells . Therefore, these elements cannot be regarded as d-block elements .
☃️ But properties of these elements resemble to the d-block elements rather than s-block elements .
☃️ Therefore, to make the study of periodic classification of elements more rational, they are studied along with d-block elements .
✍️ Thus <u>on the basis of properties</u> all transition elements are d- block elements, but <u>on the basis of electronic configuration</u> all d -block elements are not transition elements .
Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of matter being measured.Intensive properties, such as density and color, do not depend on the amount of the substance present.Physical properties<span> can be measured without changing a substance's chemical identity.</span>
Ca, they only have two valence electrons, in order to become more stable, they would like to lose all of them
Alkenes on reaction with meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (MCPBA ) produces epoxides. When styrene is reacted with mCPBA it gives 2-phenyloxirane as shown below,
