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??!
