प्रश्न
In the series Sc (Z = 21) to Zn (Z = 30), the enthalpy of atomization of zinc is the lowest, i.e., 126 kJ mol−1. Why?

उत्तर
The electrons of the 3d orbitals of zinc are not used in bonding, whereas the electrons of the d orbitals of all the remaining metals of the 3d series are used in forming bonds. Hence the value of the atomization enthalpy of zinc is the lowest in the series.
