The transition elements that has the lowest enthalpy of atomisation...

The transition elements that has the lowest enthalpy of atomisation is:

Options

  1. AVV
  2. BFeFe
  3. CZnZn
  4. DCuCu

Correct answer

C. ZnZn

Step-by-step solution

ZnZn is usually not considered as a transition element as the d-orbital electrons do not take part in reactions. This is why ZnZn exhibit only +2+ 2 oxidation state.
But since, it is placed in the d-block along with other transition metals, it is technically a d-block element and a transition metal. Zinc has the lowest enthalpy of atomization among the first row transition metals.
