Question
Differentiate between Normal elements and Transition elements.
Advertisements
Solution
| Normal Elements | Transition Elements |
| Elements belonging to groups 1 and 2, and 13 to 17 are called normal elements. | Elements belonging to groups 3 to 12 are called transition elements. |
| In these elements, all the inner shells are completely filled except the outermost shells. |
In these elements, the outermost shell and next to the outermost shell (penultimate shell) are incomplete. |
