Asked in Premeth MDCAT 2025 LR-04 — Electromagnetism, Transition Elements 2025Moderate

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.
