Although zirconium belongs to 4d transition series and hafnium to 5d transition series even then they show similar physical and chemical properties because -

A

both belong to d - block.

B

both have the same number of electrons.

C

both have the same atomic radius.

D

both belong to the same group in the periodic table.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Elements of the 4d, 5d - series belonging to the same group have similar atomic radius. Hence, corresponding ions with same charge have similar charge to radius ratio. So they have similar physical and chemical properties.
