Why transition elements are harder than alkali metals and alkaline earth metals? |
Due to their larger atomic size Due to their low melting and boiling points. Due to presence of partially filled d-orbitals and small size. None of these |
Due to presence of partially filled d-orbitals and small size. |
Due to presence of partially filled d-orbitals and small size, which helps in dπ - dΠ bond formation and increasing the cohesive interactions of atoms. |
