Question
The second and third rows of transition elements resemble each other much more than they resemble the first row. Explain why?
Advertisements
Solution
Due to lanthanide contraction, the atomic radii of the second and third row transition elements are almost same. So, they resemble each other much more as compared to first row elements.
