NEET Chemistry Transition Elements MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Which of the following statements about transition elements is correct?

A

Transition elements generally have unpaired electrons contributing to higher enthalpies of atomisation.

B

Transition elements exhibit lower ionisation enthalpy compared to s-block elements.

C

All transition elements have completely filled d orbitals in their ground state.

D

Transition elements have no metallic properties due to their electron configurations.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Transition elements have unpaired electrons that result in stronger interatomic interactions, leading to higher enthalpies of atomisation. This is highlighted in the context of their bonding properties.
