Reactivity of transition elements decrea...

Reactivity of transition elements decreases almost regularly from Se to Cu. Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Reactivity of transition elements depends mostly upon their ionisation enthalpies. As we move from left to right in the periodic table (Se to Cu), ionisation enthalpies increase almost regularly.
Hence, their reactivity decreases almost regularly from Se to Cu.
