Question
In what way is the electronic configuration of the transition elements different from that of the non transition elements?
✓

Answer

Transition metals have a partially filled $d-$orbital. Therefore, the electronic configuration of transition elements is $(n -1)d^{1-10}ns^{0-2}.$ The non$-$transition elements either do not have a $d-$orbital or have a fully filled $d-$orbital. Therefore, the electronic configuration of non$-$transition elements is $ns^{1-2 }$ or $ns^{2 } \ np^{1-6}.$
