Question
Transition elements show high melting points. Why?
✓
Answer
The high melting points of transition metals are due to strong metallic bonds between the atoms of these elements This is because of involvements of a greater number of electrons in the interatomic metallic bonding from (n-1)d orbitals in addition to ns electrons in the interatomic molecular bonding.
