उत्तर
- Transition elements have high enthalpies of atomization due to the presence of many unpaired electrons in their atoms.
- Unpaired electrons lead to strong interatomic interactions and stronger metallic bonding between atoms.
- The stronger the metallic bonds, the more energy is required to break these bonds, resulting in higher enthalpies of atomization.
- Elements of the second and third transition series have even higher enthalpies due to more frequent metal-metal bonding.
- This strong bonding also explains their high melting and boiling points.
