Question
Give reasons Iron has the higher enthalpy of atomization than that of copper.
Advertisements
Solution 1
Iron has more number of the unpaired electron. Hence, it will have strong interatomic interaction than copper.
Solution 2
Metallic bond in iron is stronger than that of copper. This is due to the presence of higher number of
unpaired electrons in iron.
