Question
In what way is the electronic configuration of the transition elements different from to that of the non-transition elements?
✓
Answer
In the electronic configuration of post-transition elements, there are partially filled d subshells in the terminal shell, whereas non-transition elements do not have partially filled d subshell, but they have completely filled d subshells in their internal configuration.
In transition elements , the last electron is filled in the d subshell of the outermost shell, whereas in non-transition elements, the last electron is filled in the s or p subshell.
