NEET Chemistry Transition Elements MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 12
Which of the following statements about transition elements is correct?
A
Transition elements exhibit higher enthalpies of atomisation due to stronger interatomic interactions from unpaired electrons.
B
All transition elements have the same ionisation enthalpy regardless of their position in the periodic table.
C
Transition metals form compounds with very low boiling points due to their weak bonding.
D
The enthalpy of atomisation decreases from left to right across a series of transition metals.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Transition elements exhibit higher enthalpies of atomisation because of a large number of unpaired electrons which lead to stronger interatomic interactions and bonding, as stated in the context.
