What else can I help you with?
Even though zinc is after copper in the periodic table leading to an increase in the nulear charge by 1 which should therefore decrease the radius why is it larger than copper?
Zinc has a filled 3d sublevel and 4s sublevel. There is more shielding from the effective nuclear charge within the filled 3d sublevel and also from the filled 4s sublevel. Copper does not have a filled 4s sublevel; recall that one of the 4s electrons "jumps up" to the 3d sublevel thereby stabilizing it by making it filled with 10 electrons. Because of this, the 4s is only half filled and there is not as much shielding within the 4s sublevel allowing the effective nuclear charge to pull the 4th energy level in more toward the nucleus. This will make the overall size of the atom smaller.
What is the least reactive element in the group 2 of the periodic table of elements?
The Zinc Family also known as group IIB is the second least reactive I believe. The least reactive family is the one with a full p sublevel, the noble gases, the next least reactive would be the family with a full d sublevel. Since group IIB has a full d sublevel, it must be the next least reactive family.
Is copper a member of transition elements?
There are two ions formed by copper. In copper(I) ion, the 3d orbital is fully filled, and show no transitional behaviour. Whereas copper(II) ion shows transitional characteristics as it has unfilled 3d orbitals. Therefore, copper is a transitional element.
Is silicon a transition element?
No, silicon is not a transition element. It is a metalloid located in Group 14 of the periodic table. Transition elements are defined as elements that have partially filled d sublevels in one or more of their oxidation states.
What is another name for zinc?
Another name for Zinc is "Zink" if I'm not mistaken. :D Against part: zink is the miss spelling of zinc so that is not the answer
Which subshells of transition metals are partially filled?
D sublevel
Which of the d-block elements are not regarded as transition metals?
Scandium and zinc (and probably those below them in their groups, but I'm uncertain of that) are not considered to be transition metals, as they do not form ions with partially filled d-subshells.

Why is copper a transition metal as it have completely filled d sub-shell?
An electron moves from the 4s sublevel to produce a completely filled 3d sublevel. A completely filled sublevel is more stable. Just because it has a filled d sublevel doesn't prevent it from being a transition metal. It has variable valence (1+ and 2+).
Energy-favorable states for the d sublevel are when it contain electrons?
Energy-favorable states for the d sublevel occur when it is half-filled or fully-filled with electrons. This is because half-filled and fully-filled d sublevels have lower overall energy due to electron-electron repulsions being minimized. Additionally, these configurations result in greater stability and lower energy.
When do D orbitals start gettin filled?
D orbitals start to get filled after the 3p orbitals in the periodic table. They are typically filled after filling the 4s orbital, as the 3d orbitals are the next to be filled in the transition metal series.
What subshell is only partially filled in most transition metals?
In most transition metals, the d subshell is only partially filled. Transition metals typically have electrons in the d orbitals, which allows for a range of oxidation states and the formation of various compounds. The unique properties of these metals arise from the presence of these partially filled d orbitals.
What are the metals with their s and d sub levels partially full?
Metals with their s and d sublevels partially filled are in transition metals group. For example, in the 4th period, scandium (Sc) has the electron configuration [Ar] 3d1 4s2 with partially filled 3d and filled 4s sublevels.
Which sublevels of the third energy level are filled in the element krypton?
In the element krypton, the third energy level has 3 sublevels: s, p, and d. The s and p sublevels are filled first before the d sublevel. This means that in krypton, the 4s and 4p sublevels are filled, while the 4d sublevel remains empty.
Elements in which the d-sublevel is being filled have the properties of?
Elements in which the d-sublevel is being filled have properties such as variable oxidation states, colored compounds, and the ability to form complex ions due to the arrangement of electrons in the d orbitals. These elements typically exhibit metallic behavior and can form transition metal compounds with unique chemical and physical properties.
Are transition metal good catalysts?
because of partially filled d orbitol
The first transition series represents the filling of the orbital?
The first transition series includes the filling of the 3d sublevel orbitals in transition metal elements from Scandium (Sc) to Zinc (Zn). These elements gradually fill the 3d orbital with electrons as they progress across the period, leading to the formation of various oxidation states and colorful compounds due to the presence of partially filled d orbitals.
