Question

If the electronic configuration of an element is $$1{s^2}2{s^2}2{p^6}3{s^2}3{p^6}3{d^2}4{s^2},$$     the four electrons involved in chemical bond formation will be _________.

A. $$3{p^6}$$
B. $$3{p^6},4{s^2}$$
C. $$3{p^6},3{d^2}$$
D. $$3{d^2},4{s^2}$$  
Answer :   $$3{d^2},4{s^2}$$
Solution :
Electrons from outermost shells $$ns$$  and $$\left( {n - 1} \right)d$$   take part in bond formation for transition elements.
