Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) The enthalpy of atomization decreases down a group in d-block elements

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Enthalpy of atomisation depends upon the effective nuclear charge and strength of metallic bonding. Transition elements have high effective nuclear charge and a large number of valence electrons. Therefore, they form very strong metallic bonds. As a result, the enthalpy of…
