MCQ
Transition metals are less reactive because of their:
  • A
    High ionization potential and low melting point.
  • B
    High ionization potential and high melting point.
  • C
    Low ionization potential and low melting point.
  • D
    Low ionization potential and high melting point.
✓

Answer

  1. High ionization potential and high melting point.

Explanation:

Transition metals are less reactive relative to I and II group due to higher ionization potential and high melting point (due to greater no of bonding electrons).
