What orbital is represented by the transition metals in period 4?
The valence electrons are added to d orbitals in the case of transition metals (or d block elements).
How many types of d orbitals are there?
There are five d orbitals, known as dz2, dxy, dxz, dyz , and dx2-y2. The special properties of transition metals are because of the d-orbitals.
What name is sometimes used to refer to entire set of d-block elements?
D-block elements are also known as the transition metals.
How do the properties of the p-block metals compare with those is the s-block or d- block?
transition metals have electrons in d orbitals that take part in bonding. T the s and p block elements have no d electrons that take part in bonding, the bonding electrons are all in s and p orbitals. The period 3 and above s and p block elements do have empty d orbitals that take part in bonding.
Why is cadmium carbonate colorless?
The 'd' orbitals of Cadmium are full filled therefore transition of electrons is not possible within 'd' orbitals so compound is colorless.
What type of element is characterized by the presence of electrons in the d orbitals?
All transition metals have valence electrons in a d-orbital.
What is unique about the location of the valance in the transition metals?
They're in "D" orbitals ..

What metals have electrons added to their d-orbitals and often do not exhibit regular or predictive electron configurations?

What is unique about valance electrons in transition metals?
The chemistry is about d electrons. They are all metals. The vast majority of their compounds are colored.
What are examples of transition element?
Iron, Cobalt, Copper, Nickel and Titanium are all transition elements (metals.) Transition metals are defined as ones which form at least one species which has partially filled d orbitals.
How do metals obey the rule octet?
most metals do not follow the octet rule. when an atom has access to the D orbitals it usually follows the 18-electron rule (transition metals). non transition or F block elements usually contain a d orbital (when present) that is below the s and p orbitals in energy and do not usually use D electrons in bonding.
Where do the d orbitals fill on the periodic table?
In modern naming they are group 13 through group 18 or in the older system they are 3A through 8A.
Is elements in the s and p blocks of the periodic table called transition metals?
No the p block of elements does not contain transition metals. The lowest energy level to allow d orbitals is not the fourth energy level.
