An amalgam is $.......$

Explain why $Cu^{+}$ ion is not stable in aqueous solutions?

Explain the variations in atomic radii of transition elements along the period. The following table provides data for the first transition series:

Element	Sc	Ti	$V$	Cr	Mn	Fe	Co	Ni	Cu	Zn
Metallic Radius $M$ (pm)	$164$	$147$	$135$	$129$	$137$	$126$	$125$	$125$	$128$	$137$

Determine whether the following statements are True $(T)$ or False $(F)$:
$(a)$ Transition elements contain $d$-orbitals.
$(b)$ Ions of transition elements contain incompletely filled $d$-orbitals.
$(c)$ Only elements with completely filled $3d$ orbitals are considered transition elements.
$(d)$ Only elements that have incompletely filled $d$-orbitals in their ground state as well as in their ions are called transition elements.

The type of orbitals present in $Fe$ is

Transition elements are named transition elements because their characters are
