Why do the transition elements exhibit higher enthalpies of atomisation?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The high enthalpies of atomization are due to large number of unpaired electrons in their atoms. Therefore, they have stronger interatomic interactions and hence, stronger bonding between atoms. Thus, they have high enthalpies of atomization.
