In the series Sc (Z = 21) to Zn (Z = 30)...

In the series Sc (Z = 21) to Zn (Z = 30), the enthalpy of atomisation of zinc is the lowest, i.e., `126" kJ "mol^(–1)`. Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

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