Answer:
Elements that fall between those on the left and right sides of the periodic table
Explanation:
Transition metals:
These are present at the center of periodic table.
These are d-block elements.
They include the elements of group 3 to 12 in periodic table.
They have large charge to radius ratio.
They mostly form paramagnetic compounds.
They shoes more than one oxidation state.
They form colored compounds.
They all have high melting and boiling point.
They have high densities.
They form stable complexes.
The elements of f-block are also transition but they are called inner transition.These are consist of two series lanthanide and actinides.
By the definition of a binary compound, the answer is NaOH.
Answer:
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6
Explanation:
Calcium is the 20th element. It has 20 electrons in it's neutral state. The electronic configuration is given as;
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2
However in the compound; calcium chloride, it does not exist in it's neutral state.
CaCl2 --> Ca2+ + Cl-
In Ca2+ state, it has lost two electrons, The total number of electrons becomes; 20 - 2 = 18 electrons.
The electronic configuration is given as;
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6
