In what way is the electronic configuration of the transition elements different

from that of the non-transition elements?

Ans : Transition metals have a partially filled d-orbital. Therefore, the electronic configuration of transition elements is (n - 1)d^1-10 ns^0-2.

The non-transition elements either do not have a d-orbital or have a fully filled d-orbital. Therefore, the electronic configuration of non-transition elements is ns^1-2 or ns² np^1-6.
