Define ionization enthalpy. Explain the trends observed in the ionization enthalpies of the d-block elements.

Definition of ionization enthalpy. Ionization enthalpy is defined as the amount of energy required to remove the outermost electron completely from a gaseous atom in its ground state. Explanation of ionization enthalpies of the d-block elements. i. The ionization enthalpies of […]

Explain the position of d-block elements in the periodic table.

Position of d-block elements in the periodic table: i. The d-block elements lie in between s- and p-block elements, i.e., these elements are located in the middle part of the periodic table. ii. The d-block elements are present in 4th […]
