Question

Compared to s-block elements the transition elements exhibit higher enthalpy of atomization. Why?​

Answer 1

♨️ Greater is the number of unpaired electrons, stronger is the metallic bonding.

♨️ Stronger is the metallic bonding, higher is the enthalpy of atomization.

• Compared to s-block elements transition elements have more number of unpaired electrons hence they have higher enthalpy of atomization.

Answer 2

Compared to s-block elements transition elements have more number of unpaired electrons hence they have higher enthalpy of atomization.
