    How would you account for the irregular variation of ionisation enthalpies (first and second) in the first series of the transition elements?

    Answer
    Why is the highest oxidation state of a metal exhibited in its oxide or fluoride only?
    Answer
    Silver atom has a completely filled d orbitals (4d10) in its ground state. How can you say that it is a transition element?
    Answer
    In the series Sc (Z = 21) to Zn(Z = 30), the enthalpy of atomisation of zinc is the lowest i.e., 26, kJ mol. Why?
