1.1 Electronic Configuration
  • $3d$ series contains ten elements from Sc $(21)$ to Zn $(30)$.

  • $4d$ series contains ten elements from Y $(39)$ to Cd $(30)$.

  • $5d$ series contains ten elements from La $(57)$, Hf $(72)$ to Hg $(80)$.

  • $6d$ series contains ten elements from Ac $(89)$, Rf $(104)$ to Cn $(112)$.

General Electronic configuration of d-block elements are as follows:

  • $3d$ series - (Ar) ${\text{3}}{{\text{d}}^{1 - 10}}{\text{ 4}}{{\text{s}}^{1 - 2}}$

  • $4d$ series - (Kr) ${\text{4}}{{\text{d}}^{1 - 10}}{\text{ 5}}{{\text{s}}^{1 - 2}}$

  • $5d$ series - (Xe) ${\text{5}}{{\text{d}}^{1 - 10}}{\text{ 6}}{{\text{s}}^{1 - 2}}$

  • $6d$ series - (Rn) ${\text{6}}{{\text{d}}^{1 - 10}}{\text{ 7}}{{\text{s}}^{1 - 2}}$
