Which element among d-block element has(i) the lowest melting point and (ii) the highest melting point

Answer» (i) As Hg has weakest interatomic interaction on account of no unparied electrons, `(n-1)d^(10)ns^(2)` available for bonding.
(ii) As W has highest interatomic interaction on account of more number of unpareid electrons, `(n-1)d^(5)ns^(1)` available for bonding.
