In light of the above statements, choose themost appropriateanswer from the options given below:NEET 2026 (Re-NEET)
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Assertion A is correct because transition metals generally have high melting points due to strong metallic bonding.
Reason R is correct and explains Assertion A because the strong metallic bonding in transition metals is attributed to the involvement of a greater number of electrons from the subshell in addition to the electrons in the interatomic metallic bonding.
Thus, both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
