Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Out of \(\mathrm{Cr}, \mathrm{Co}, \mathrm{Fe}\) and \(\mathrm{Ni}\) Chromium has lowest heat of atomisation. \(\mathrm{Cr}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^5 4 \mathrm{~s}^1\) \(\because\) Total six valence \(\mathrm{e}^{-}\)in \(\mathrm{Cr}\).
