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.
