The transition element that has lowest enthalpy of atomisation, is :

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Zn has the lowest enthalpy of atomisation among the given elements due to its fully filled 3d¹⁰ configuration.

The 3d¹⁰4s² electronic configuration results in weak metallic bonding.

Therefore, less energy is required to separate Zn atoms into gaseous atoms.

Hence, Zn has the minimum enthalpy of atomisation. Correct Answer: (A) Zn
