Question

A transition metal in the fourth period from the following list : Cu, O , Pr, Ag

Answer 1

Answer:

Cu

Explanation:

Groups 3 - 12 (or groups IIA - IIB) of the periodic table contain transition elements. Transaction elements start from period four (4) of the periodic table. The phrase alludes to the fact that the d sublevel is filling at a lower main energy level than the s sublevel that came before it.

The transition elements' arrangement is inverted from the fill order, with the 4 s filled prior to the actual 3 d begins. The transition elements are commonly referred to as transition metals since they are all metals. They are less reactive than the metals in Groups 1 and 2 and have normal metallic characteristics.

From the options given Cu is the only transition metal in the fourth period on the periodic table.
