Arrange the following transition elements of the first series in increasing order of their densities

(A) Sc
(B) V
(C) Zn
(D) Cu

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A), (B), (C), (D)

The correct answer is Option (4) → (A), (B), (C), (D)

Step 1: Recall approximate densities of the elements

Typical densities (in g/cm³) of these elements:

• Sc (Scandium) ≈ 2.99
• V (Vanadium) ≈ 6.11
• Zn (Zinc) ≈ 7.14
• Cu (Copper) ≈ 8.96

These are approximate values from the periodic table.

Step 2: Arrange in increasing order

$\text{Sc (2.99)} < \text{V (6.11)} < \text{Zn (7.14)} < \text{Cu (8.96)}$
