An increase in the density is seen when moving from Ti to Cu in transition mental series. This can be attributed to ....

  1. A lanthanoid contraction
  2. B filling of f orbitals prior to d orbitals
  3. C Ineffective shielding of d electrons
  4. D Increase in atomic number and atomic size
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Ineffective shielding of d electrons

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The increase in density is due to a significant increase in atomic mass across the series while atomic volume either decreases or remains relatively constant. Ineffective shielding of d electrons leads to an increased effective nuclear charge, causing a contraction in atomic…
