Answer to Problem 3.36E

The given element iron is classified as a transition element.

Explanation of Solution

The last electron to be filled in the valence shell of an atom is the distinguishing electron.

The elements in which the last electron is filled in s or p subshell are known as representative elements. The elements in which the last electron is filled in d subshell are known as transition elements and in which the last electron is filled in f subshell are known as inner transition elements. The elements in which subshells are completely filled are noble gases.

The given element iron has atomic number 26. The electronic configuration of iron is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d6. The last electron is filled in the d-subshell. Therefore, iron is a transition element.

Conclusion

The given element iron is classified as a transition element.

Answer to Problem 3.36E

The given element U is an inner transition element.

Explanation of Solution

The last electron to be filled in the valence shell of an atom is the distinguishing electron.

The elements in which the last electron is filled in s or p subshell are known as representative elements. The elements in which the last electron is filled in d subshell are known as transition elements and in which the last electron is filled in f subshell are known as inner transition elements. The elements in which subshells are completely filled are noble gases.

The given element U has atomic number 92. The electronic configuration of uranium is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d105p66s24f145d106p67s25f36d1. The last electron is filled in the f-subshell. Therefore, U is classified as an inner transition element.

Conclusion

The given element U is an inner transition element.
