d-block elements are present _ in the periodic table.
Correct answer: D. Between s and p block elements
- A. Right of the periodic table
- B. Left of the periodic table
- C. Bottom of periodic table
- D. Between s and p block elements
Explanation
The d-block elements lie in between s- and p-block elements, i.e., these are positioned in the middle of the period table. The d-block elements are also called transition metals as they have valence electrons in d orbitals. A diagram of periodic table is available for further clarification

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.
