NEET Chemistry Properties of d-block Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12
Assertion (A): Transition elements generally exhibit high tensile strength. | Reason (R): The presence of partially filled d-orbitals allows for strong metallic bonding in transition elements.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context mentions that transition elements display typical metallic properties such as high tensile strength due to their partially filled d-orbitals, which facilitate strong metallic bonding.
