Important Questions on The d- and f-Block Elements
In -block elements the radii of elements of third transition series are similar to those of the elements of second transition series. Give reason.





Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): The first ionization enthalpy of series elements is more than that of group metals
Reason (R): In series of elements successive filling of -orbitals takes place.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Discuss the changes in the following properties of first transition series: Atomic radii




Catalyst | Process | ||
A. | i. | Wacker process | |
B. | ii. | Ziegler – Natta polymerisation | |
C. | iii. | Contact process` | |
D. | iv. | Deacon’s process |



Sentence (A) and its reason (R) is given below. For it which option is correct from given options?
Sentence (A): Atomic radii from to is almost similar.
Reason (R) : Shielding effect of entering electron in orbital decreases repulsion force of orbital electrons towards nucleus.





Match the following?
property | metal |
(a) Element with highest second ionization enthalpy | |
(b) Element with highest third ionization enthalpy | |
(c) in | |
(d) Element with highest heat of atomization | |
