Transition series What is transition series d block elements
Transition series:
There are four transition series -
1- First transition series contain 10 elements from scandium (at.no.21) to Zinc (at.no.30). They have incompletely 3d orbitals.
2- Second transition series contain 10 elements , from Yttrium (at.no.39) to cadmium (at .no . 48 ) they have incomplete 4d - orbitals .
3- Third transition series include 10 elements with incomplete 5 d - orbitals . These are Lanthanum (at . no . 80) .
4- Fourth transition series . This series is not complete and has incompletely filled f - electrons . This consist of lanthanides and actinides are identified below under f - block elements.
