(a)
Interpretation:
The most dense element among the transition metals has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The groups 3 to 12 on the periodic table (d-block of the periodic table) are called Transition metal elements. The lanthanide and actinide series are also considered as inner transition metals.
(b)
Interpretation:
The metal with lowest melting point among the transition metals has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The groups 3 to 12 on the periodic table (d-block of the periodic table) are called Transition metal elements. The lanthanide and actinide series are also considered as inner transition metals.
(c)
Interpretation:
The radioactive
