Give reason :
(i) Most of the transition metals have high melting point and boiling point
(ii) `2^(nd)` ionization enthalpy of Cu is exceptionally high.
(iii) atomic size of 4d- and 5d-series elements are almost the same.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) Electrons of (n - 1) d orbitals along with ns electrons are also involved in metallic bonding
(ii) There is loss of exchange energy, due to disruption of do configuration of `Cu^(+)` ion.
(iii) Due to Lanthanoid contraction.
