What happens to the melting point of d-block elements across a period?

The melting point of transition elements increases to a maximum at d⁵ and decreases with the increase of atomic number across a period.

The transition metals are characterized by partially filled d & subshells in the free elements and cations.
The ns and (n − 1) d subshells have similar energies, so small influences can produce electron configurations that do not conform to the general order in which the subshells are filled.
The group 4 metals become denser, higher melting, and more electropositive down the column.
The trends in boiling and melting points vary from group to group, based on non-bonding interactions holding the atoms together.
