Subjective Type

Account for: Silver atom has completely filled $$d$$-orbitals ($$4d^{10}$$) in its ground state yet silver is a transition element.

Solution

Silver ($$Z = 47$$) can exhibit $$+2$$ oxidation state wherein it will have incompletely filled $$d$$-orbitals ($$4d$$), hence a transition element.
