In what way is the electronic configuration of the transition elements different from that of the non-transition elements? |
| Answer» Solution :The GENERAL ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION of transition elements is `(n-1) d^(1-10) ns^(1-2)` while for non-transition elements is `ns^(1-2)` for s-block and `ns^(2) np^(1-6)` for p-block elements. The basic DIFFERENCE of the electronic configuration is that in case of transition element PENULTIMATE shell i.e., (n-1)d shell is successively filled while in non-transition elements the valance shells are successively filled. | |

Answer» `CHCl_(3)` ![]() Due to steric repulsion AMONG Cl-atoms observed `angleClCCl` is found to be greater than expected. ![]() BOND angle between both `C-Cl` bonds is greater than `60^(@)` due to steric repulsion between both Cl-atom, HENCE `mu_(D)("observed")ltu_(D)("theoretical")` ![]() Observed bond angle between both `C-NO_(2)` bonds is found to be greater than `60^(@)` due to steric repulsion between `NO_(2)` groups, hence `mu_(D)("observed")ltu_(D)("theoretical")` ![]() Observed bond angle between both `C-O and C-Cl ` bonds is found to be less than `60^(@)` due to intramolecular H-bonding present in it, hence `mu_(D)("observed")ltu_(D)("theoretical")` |
|
| 35. |
In what way, is the electronic configuration of transition elements different from that of non- transition elements ? |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :The transition ELEMENTS INVOLVE the filled d- orbitals whereas the representative elements involve the filling of s or p-orbitals. General electronic configuration of transition element :`(n-1) d^(1) - 10 s^(1 - 2)` General electronic configuration of representative elements : `ns^(1 - 2)` or `ns^(2)NP^(1-6)`. On comparison of the above electronic configurations, we FIND that in the representative elements, only the last shell is incomplete whereas in transition elements the last but one shell is also incomplete. |
