प्रश्न
Reactivity of transition elements decreases almost regularly from Sc to Cu. Explain.

उत्तर
Reactivity of an element is dependent on the value of ionization enthalpy. In moving from Sc, the first element to Cu, the ionization enthalpy increases regularly. Therefore, the reactivity decreases as we move from Sc to Cu.
