Question:
Among V, Cr, Zn, Fe, the metal having lowest enthalpy of atomization is:
Among V, Cr, Zn, Fe, the metal having lowest enthalpy of atomization is:
Show Hint
Elements with fully filled d-orbitals like Zn have weak metallic bonding → low enthalpy of atomization.
Updated On: May 15, 2025
- V
- Cr
- Zn
- Fe
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Zn has a fully filled d\textsuperscript{10} configuration and does not form strong metallic bonds compared to other transition metals. Hence, it has the lowest enthalpy of atomization among the given metals.

Top Questions on General Properties of the Transition Elements (d-Block)
- Read the following passage and answer the next five questions based on it.
The transition metals are very hard and have low volatility. Their melting and boiling points are high. In any row, the melting points of these metals rise to a maximum at d5 and fall regularly as atomic number increases. The high melting points of these metals are attributed to the involvement of greater number of electrons from (n– 1)d in addition to ns electrons in the interatomic metallic bonding.- CUET (UG) - 2024
