NEET2013Chemistryd and f Block ElementsActual
Which of the following element has lowest melting point?
Options
- ACr
- BFe
- CNi
- DCu
Correct answer
D. Cu
Step-by-step solution
Cu has lowest melting point because it has lowest enthalpy of atomisation (i.e., heat required to break the metal lattice to get free atoms) among the elements. array lllll & Ni > Fe > Cr > Cu Enthalpy of atomisation : & 430 & 416 & 397 & 339 ( in kJ mol array
