NEET Chemistry Transition Elements MCQ Question
Which of the following combinations correctly describes properties and behaviors of transition elements?
Transition elements generally exhibit high enthalpy of atomisation, leading to stronger bonding and are often used as catalysts in chemical reactions.
Transition elements only form ionic compounds and do not participate in metal-metal bonding due to low enthalpy of atomisation.
All transition elements have identical oxidation states and the same catalytic properties in industrial applications.
Transition elements do not follow Hund's rule in electron configuration and have no significance in catalysis.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Statement A is correct as transition elements are known for their high enthalpy of atomisation, which contributes to strong interatomic bonding, and they are widely used as catalysts in various chemical processes, including the Haber process and the oxidation of SO2.
