Question

Four alternatives are given in each part of this question. Write the correct alternative in your answer-book. Fe is:

• A. s-block element
• B. p-block element
• C. d-block element
• D. f-block element

Hint:

d-block elements are also called transition metals and typically have partially filled d-orbitals.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Iron (\( Fe \)) belongs to the d-block elements because its valence electrons are present in the d-orbital. The electronic configuration of \( Fe \) is \( [Ar]\, 3d^6 4s^2 \).
