Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 12
In the diagram of transition metal lattice shown above, which factor is most likely influencing the strength of metal-metal bonding?
A
Number of valence electrons
B
Atomic size
C
Type of oxidation state
D
Presence of f orbitals
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The strength of metal-metal bonding in transition elements is influenced by the number of valence electrons, as more valence electrons lead to stronger interatomic interactions and higher enthalpy of atomisation.
