Question

Transition elements belong to ______.

पर्याय

• s-block

• p-block

• d-block

• f-block

Answer 1

Transition elements belong to d-block.

Explanation:

Transition elements are located in the d-block of the periodic table, spanning Groups 3 to 12. They are characterized by having partially filled d-orbitals in their elemental form or in one of their common oxidation states. The name “transition” refers to their position and properties, which are transitional between the highly reactive s-block metals and the p-block elements (which include non-metals).
