  In what way is the electronic configuration of the transition elements different from that of the non-transation elements?

Answer:

Electronic configuration of transaction elements differ from those of non-transaction elements in the given ahead respects: (i) In non-transition elements, only the outermost shell is incomplete while in transition elements, the penultimate shell is also incomplete. (ii) In non-transition elements, the general electronic configuration is ns1-2 (s-block) or ns2 np1-6 (p-block) while the general electronic configurationof transition elements is (n – 1) d1-10 ns1-2.
