Silver: A Transition Element Explained

[Radwa Kamal]

HI THERE,
Although silver has d-sub-shell completely filled in atomic state and oxidation state as it loses one electron it is classified as a transition element.
while transition element definition is an element whose atom has an incomplete d sub-shell, or which can give rise to cations with an incomplete d sub-shell.
SO WHY IS SILVER TRANSITION ELEMENT??!

Silver occasionally forms compounds with oxidation states +2 and +3. Since it only has one electron in the outer s-shell, second and third electrons come out of d-shell.

Hi,

It is exactly a same stuff that I know about this as, silver is having second and third electrons that comes out, that is why it forms compounds.

Thanks!
