  • A. All of these
  • B. Nickel
  • C. Cobalt
  • D. Iron

Explanation

Iron, cobalt, and nickel are important transition elements that are used in industries and are part of various machinery and appliances as well. In addition to that, these metals can produce their own magnetic field, which makes them applicable in a lot of industries. Iron is used to produce steel, Cobalt is used to produce high-temperature metal alloys, and nickel is used not only in the production of various alloys but is also used in kitchen wares and coating of batteries.

About Transition Elements

Transition elements are identified by their partially filled d subshells in atoms or common ions. The topic covers the electronic structure of d-block elements, including the filling order of 4s and 3d orbitals, variable oxidation states and the distinction between transition elements and elements with completely filled d subshells.
