The electronic configurations of four elements are :

(i) [Xe]6s1[{Xe}] 6 s^1

(ii) [Xe]4f145d16s2[{Xe}] 4 f^{14} 5 d^1 6 s^2

(iii) [Ar]4s24p5[{Ar}] 4 s^2 4 p^5

(iv) [Ar]3d74s2[{Ar}] 3 d^7 4 s^2

Which one of the following statements about these elements is not correct?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
(ii) is a d-block element
The correct answer is (ii) is a d-block element (B) because [Xe]4f145d16s2[Xe] 4 f^{14} 5 d^1 6 s^2 is an f-block element (Lanthanide) since the last electron enters the f-orbital after filling the d-orbital.
