Explain giving reasons :
The enthalpies of atomisation of the transition metals are high.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The reason for the high enthalpy of atomisation is the presence of large number of unpaired electrons in their atoms. These atoms have strong interatomic interaction and hence, stronger bonding between them.
