The Eθ(M2+/M) value for copper is positive (+0.34V). What is possibly the reason for this? (Hint: consider its high ΔaHV and low ΔhydHV)
The Eθ(M2+/M) value of a metal depends on the energy changes involved in the following:
1. Sublimation: The energy required for converting one mole of an atom from the solid state to the gaseous state.
2. Ionization: The energy required to take out electrons from one mole of atoms in the gaseous state.
3. Hydration: The energy released when one mole of ions are hydrated.
Now, copper has a high energy of atomization and low hydration energy. Hence, the Eθ(M2+/M) value for copper is positive.

Silver atom has completely filled d orbitals (4d10) in its ground state. How can you say that it is a transition element?

(iii) The d1 configuration is very unstable in ions.
