Which of the following is a periodic property that is common to both the main-group elements and the transition metals?
Which of the following is a periodic property that is common to both the main-group elements and the transition metals?
a) oxidation state |
b) first ionization energy across a row |
c) electronegativity down a column |
d) atomic size across a row |
The question is about the similarity between main group elements (s and p block) and transition metal (d block)
The oxidation state for main group and transition metals is different
First ionization energy across a row is also different periodicity property
But electronegativity decrease down the column in all main group as well as transition metals but it's not regular
The atomic size across row always decrease as we go from left to right
So
The answer is atomic size across a row
