The statement that is not correct for periodic classification of elements is:

1. The properties of elements are periodic function of their atomic numbers
2. Non-metallic elements are less in number than metallic elements
3. For transition elements, the 3d-orbitals are filled with electrons after 3p-orbitals and before 4s-orbitals
4. The first ionisation enthalpies of elements generally increase with increase in atomic number as we go along a period

Hint: The energy of 4s is lower than 3d
In case of transition elements (or any elements), the order of filling of electrons in various orbital is 3p<4s<3d. Thus, 3d orbital is filled when 4s orbital gets completely filled.
