How would you account for the irregular variation of ionisation enthalpies (first and second) in the first series of the transition elements ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Irregular variation of ionisation enthalpies is mainly attributed to varying degree of stability of different 3d-configurations (e.g., `d^(0), d^(5) , d^(10)` are exceptionally stable).
