The second and third rows of transition ...

The second and third rows of transition elements resemble each other much more than resemble the first row. Explain why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Due to lanthanide contraction, the atomic radii of the second and third row transition elements have nearly the same value. Hence, they resemble each other much more as compared to first row transition elements.
