Answer:

d orbitals

Explanation:

Transition metals are generally known as d-block elements. The electronic configuration of all transition elements finish in a d-orbital weather they are first row, second row or third row transition elements. This is the thread that holds all the elements of the transition series together.

This is why elements of the transition series are generally called the d-block elements.

Answer:

$Cd(s)|Cd^{2+}(aq) || Cu^{2+}(aq)|Cu(s)$

Explanation:

A galvanic cell is composed of two electrodes immersed in a suitable electrolyte and connected via a salt bridge. One of the electrodes serves as a cathode where reduction or gain of electrons takes place. The other half cell functions as an anode where oxidation or loss of electrons occurs.

The representation is given by writing the anode on left hand side followed by its ion with its molar concentration. It is followed by a salt bridge. Then the cathodic ion with its molar concentration is written and then the cathode.

As it is given that cadmium acts as anode, it must be on the left hand side and copper must be on right hand side.

$Cd(s)|Cd^{2+}(aq) || Cu^{2+}(aq)|Cu(s)$
