Which element among d-block element has(...

Which element among d-block element has(i) the lowest melting point and (ii) the highest melting point

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(i) As `Hg` has weakest interatomic interaction on account of no. unpaired electrons,(n-1)d^(10)ns^(2)` available for bonding. (ii) As `W` has highest interatomic interaction on account of more number of unpaired electrons, (n-1) d^(5)ns^(1) available for bonding
