प्रश्न
Assertion (A): Transition metals have high enthalpy of atomisation.
Reason (R): Greater number of unpaired electrons in transition metals results in weak metallic bonding.

उत्तर
(A) is true, but (R) is false.
Explanation:
The assertion (A) is true: Transition metals exhibit a high enthalpy of atomization. This is owing to the strong metallic bonds found in these metals.
The reasoning (R) is false: The existence of unpaired electrons in transition metals causes stronger, rather than weaker, metallic bonding. The delocalization of d and s electrons across the metal lattice helps to form strong metallic connections.
