Question:

For which of the elements the sublimation enthalpies are much less?

Options:

V and Cr

Fe and Co

Cr and Mn

Mn and V

Correct Answer:

Mn and V

Explanation:

The E(M2+/M) values are not regular which can be explained from the irregular variation of ionisation enthalpies (ΔiH1+ΔiH2) and also the sublimation enthalpies which are relatively much less for manganese and vanadium.
