Why is enthalpy of atomisation is the lowest for Zn in 3d series of transition elements ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Enthalpy of atomisation depends on number of unpaired electrons. In Zn there is no unpaired electron. As a result, metallic bonding is weak so that enthalpy of atominsation is low.
