Chapter 23, Problem 4E

With only minor irregularities, the melting points of the first series of transition metals rise from that of Sc to that of Cr and then fall to that of Zn. Give a plausible expla-nation for this phenomenon based on atomic structure.

Assign a reason for each of the following observations:(i) The transition metals (with the exception of Zn, Cd and Hg) are hard and have high melting and boiling points.(ii) The ionization enthalpies (first and second) in the first series of the transition elements are found to vary irregularly.
Many transition metals and their compounds are used as catalysts. Given MnO2, FeCl3, Pt, and Ni, which would you select for producing CCl4 from CS2 and Cl2?
What is a transition metal in the fourth period from the following list: N, Cu, Ag, Yb?
