Employee Opinion SurveyThe elements in which the last differentiating
electron enters into the d-orbitals of the
penultimate shell i.e., (n-1)d where n is the
last shell are called d-block elements.

In d-block elements with increase in atomic
number, the d-orbitals of the penultimate shell
i.e. (n-1)d are gradually filled by electrons. The
general electronic configuration of d-block
element is,

The trend followed by the ionic radii is the
same as that followed by atomic radii.
Ionic radii of the transition metals are
different in different oxidation states.

The low value for Sc reflects the stability of Sc
which has a noble gas configuration. The
highest value for Zn is due to the removal of an
electron from the stable d configuration of Zn
. The comparatively high value for Mn shows
that Mn (d ) is particularly stable, whereas
comparatively low value for Fe shows the extra
stability of Fe (d ).

COMPLEX FORMATION
The transition metals form a large number of
complex compounds.
The transition metals form a large no. of
interstitial compounds in which small atoms
occupy the empty spaces in their lattices.
Transition metals have similar atomic radii &
other characteristics, hence they form alloys
very readily.

THE f- BLOCK ELEMENTS
The f-block consists of the two series,
lanthanoids (the fourteen elements
following lanthanum) and actinoids (the
fourteen elements following actinium).

THE ACTINIDES
ATOMIC RADIUS
The radii of the atoms or ions of these
metals decreases regularly across the series.
The contraction is greater from element to
element in this series due to poorer
shielding by 5f electrons.

THE ACTINIDES
MAGNETIC BEHAVIOUR
Like, lanthanides, the Actinides elements
are strongly paramagnetic, but the values of
magnetic susceptibility are higher for
the actinides than the Lanthanides.
