Coinage metals are actually_________?
Correct answer: D. Transition metals
- A. Alkali metals
- B. Halogens
- C. Alkaline earth metals
- D. Transition metals
Explanation
Copper, silver and gold are coinage metals, and they belong to the d-block transition-metal group. They are not alkali or alkaline-earth metals, which are s-block elements, and they are not halogens.

About Electronic Structure of d-Block Elements
The electronic structure of d-block elements covers the filling of the (n-1)d and ns orbitals, general electronic configurations, and the exceptions shown by chromium and copper. It explains how partially filled d orbitals produce variable oxidation states, coloured ions, magnetic behaviour and complex formation, while distinguishing transition elements from elements with completely filled d subshells.
