Which of the following transition metal ions has the lowest density?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
= 8.95 = 8.91
= 3.0 = 7.14.
Across the period atomic volumes decreases upto copper due poor shielding of d-orbital electrons and addition of extra electrons in inner orbitals and then increases in zinc due to interelectronic repulsions in completely filled d- and s-orbitals. Consequently densities increase from Sc to Cu and then decreases in Zn.
