Why are the ionization energies of 5 d elements than 3d elements ? |
| Answer» SOLUTION :In the 5d series, after lanthanum `( Z= 57)` , there is langthanoid contraction.In each group, the SIZEOF 5d element is smaller while nuclear charge is greater than 3d element. Hence, IONIZATION ENERGIES of 5 delements are greater than 3d elements. | |
