Chemistry · s, p, d and f block elements

Elements with high melting point are present in:

Elements with high melting point are present in:

  • A. p-block elements
  • B. s-block elements
  • C. d-block elements
  • D. None of these

Step-by-step solution

d-block elements (transition metals) have high melting points due to strong metallic bonding involving incomplete d orbitals, which contribute to high cohesive energy. s-block elements are generally soft with low melting points, and p-block elements show variability but are typically lower.
