Question

The first ionization energy of the d-block elements are?

• A. Lesser than p-block elements
• B. Between s and p-block elements
• C. Higher than p-block elements
• D. Lesser than s-block elements

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Between s and p-block elements

The first ionization energy of the d-block elements are between s and p-block elements.

Thus they are more electropositive than p-block elements and less electropositive than s-block elements.
