The second and third rows of transition ...

The second and third rows of transition elements resemble each other much more than they resemble the first row. Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Due to lanthanoid contraction, the atomic radii of the second and third rows of transition elements is almost same. So, they resemble each other much more as compared to first row elements and show similar characteristics.
