Correct Answer: Tendency to gain electrons
Solution : The correct option is Tendency to gain electron
Because of their distinct electrical structure, transition metals do not have a strong tendency to gain electrons when compared to other elements. Transition metals have partially full d orbitals in their outermost electron shells, increasing the likelihood that they may lose electrons and produce positive ions (cations) to achieve a stable electron configuration.
