no. it's d sublevel is full and that is the reason why it is not coloured like other transition metals that have a partially filled d-sublevel

When do D orbitals start gettin filled?

D orbitals begin being filled with electrons after the orbital found in the 4s sublevel is filled.


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+).


Why electronic configuration of copper is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1 3d10 and why not 1s2 2s 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d9?

Because having a half-filled s sublevel, such as 4s1, followed by a filled d sublevel, such as 3d10 is more stable than having a filled s sublevel, such as 4s2, followed by a d sublevel that is almost full, such as 3d9, which is very unstable.


When 3 d orbitals are completely filled the new electrons will enter in?

After the 3d sublevel is filled, additional electrons will occupy the 4p orbitals, for a total of 6 electrons in the 4p 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.

How many orbital in g sub level?

There are 9 orbitals in a g sublevel. (there is 1 in an s sublevel, 3 in a p sublevel, 5 in a d sublevel, 7 in an f sublevel, 9 in a g sublevel, 11 in an h sublevel, etc.)
