Chemistry · Transition Elements: General introduction, electronic configuration, occurrence and characteristics
Transition metals are less reactive than alkali metals because they have:
Transition metals are less reactive than alkali metals because they have:
- A. high ionisation potential and low melting point
- B. high ionisation potential and high melting point
- C. low ionisation potential and low melting point
- D. low ionisation potential and high melting point
Step-by-step solution
Transition metals have higher ionization potentials (they are harder to oxidize) and high melting points due to strong metallic bonding, making them less reactive than alkali metals, which have low ionization potentials and low melting points.
