Interpretation:
The Nobel gas which does not have eight electrons in its highest occupied energy level is to be identified.
Concept Introduction :
The elements can be classified into four classes: s-block, p-block, d-block, and f-block, based on which subshell the last electron entered, the elements are sorted.The s-block includes 1A, 2A, and helium. The p-block includes 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A, 7A, and 8A. The d-block includes
Answer to Problem 35A
Option a
Explanation of Solution
In the transition elements, the last electron entersthe d-block and has partially filled the d-subshell.
So, silver, iron, and zirconium belong to the d-block as they have partially filled the d-subshell. d-block elements are called transition elements.
Aluminum is a p-block element.
Thus, the correct option is a.
