6814 d and f - block elements transition elementsElectronic Distribution of 4d and 5d-Series:The following table shows the electronic distribution of 4d and 5d-block elements. Theelements of the group number VI-B, i.e. Cr group shows the same deviation except W74.Similarly, the elements of the group I-B that is Cu-family also show the deviated distribution.Following table shows the electronic distribution of 3d, 4d, 5d seriesTable 14.3: Electronic Configurations of three Series of d-Block Elements3d-block elements 4d-block elements 5d-block elementsElementsElectronicConfigurationElementsElectronicConfigurationElementsElectronicConfigurationSc (21) [Ar]3d 1 4s 2 Y (39) [Kr]4d 1 5s 2 La (57) [Xe]5d 1 6s 2Ti (22) [Ar]3d 2 4s 2 Zr (40) [Kr]4d 2 5s 2 Hf (72) [Xe]4f 14 5d 2 6s 2V (23) [Ar]3d 3 4s 2 Nb (41) [Kr]4d 4 5s 1 Ta (73) [Xe]4f 14 5d 3 6s 2Cr (24) [Ar]3d 5 4s 1 Mo (42) [Kr]4d 5 5s 1 W (74) [Xe]4f 14 5d 4 6s 2Mn (25) [Ar]3d 5 4s 2 Te (43) [Kr]4d 6 5s 2 Re (75) [Xe]4f 14 5d 5 6s 2Fe (26) [Ar]3d 6 4s 2 Ru (44) [Kr]4d 7 5s 1 Os (76) [Xe]4f 14 5d 6 6s 2Co (27) [Ar]3d 7 4s 2 Rh (45) [Kr]4d 8 5s 1 Ir (77) [Xe]4f 14 5d 7 6s 2Ni (28) [Ar]3d 8 4s 2 Pd (46) [Kr]4d 10 Pt (78) [Xe]4f 14 5d 9 6s 1Cu (29) [Ar]3d 10 4s 1 Ag (47) [Kr]4d 10 5s 1 Au (79) [Xe]4f 14 5d 10 6s 1Zn (30) [Ar]3d 10 4s 2 Cd (48) [Kr]4d 10 5s 2 Hg (80) [Xe]4f 14 5d 10 6s 214.2.3 Binding EnergyIn order to understand the mechanical properties of transition elements, we shouldunderstand the binding energies. Transition elements are tough, malleable and ductile. Thetoughness of the metals is due to greater binding energies.Reason:The s-electron of outermost shell takes part in chemical bonding. Anyhow, along with thatthe electrons of underlying half filled d-orbitals also participate in bonding.Variation in Binding Energies:When we move from left to the right in any d-block series, the number of electrons increaseup to group V-B; that is vanadium family and VI-B i.e. Cr family. After that the pairing of electronstarts. The unpaired electrons become zero at group II-B. It means that binding forces go onincreasing up to Cr and then decrease after that. This is shown for the elements of 3d and 5dseries in the following graph.
