    What is the general outer electronic configuration of the coinage metals?

    A) \[n{{s}^{2}}\text{ }n{{p}^{6}}\]                 

    B) \[(n-1){{d}^{10}}\,n{{s}^{1}}\]

    C)  \[(n-1){{d}^{10}}\,n{{s}^{2}}\]  

    D) \[(n-1){{d}^{9}}\,n{{s}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Coinage metals are transition metals but they cannot work as transition metal because they have completely filled d-orbital. Group IB elements are called coinage metals\[(Cu,\text{ }Ag,\text{ }Au)\]. Their general outer electronic configuration is\[(n-1){{d}^{10}}n{{s}^{1}}\].
