Which one of the following transition element has the lowest value of enthalpy of atomization?

A

Cr

B

Cu

C

Zn

D

Mn

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The more extensive the metallic bonding of an element, the more will be its enthalpy of atmoization. Due to the absence of unpaired electrons in zinc, metallic bonding is weakest and as a result, it has least enthalpy of atomization.
