Reactivity of transition element decrea...

Reactivity of transition element decreases almost regularly from Sc to Cu. Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Along a transition series, there is a gradual increase in the magnitude of ionisation enthalpy from left to the right. The reactivity of the metals is therefore, expected to decrease,
