Why do transition elements form alloys so easily?(a) Atomic size(b) Orbital configuration(c) Very light(d) Hard elementsI had been asked this question in quiz.Question is taken from Electronic Configurations of the D-Block Elements topic in portion D and F-Block Elements of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Right CHOICE is (a) Atomic size

To explain: ALLOYS are combinations of metals or elements in the form of a compound or a solution. Transition elements are highly capable in forming alloys because they have similar atomic size and can SUBSTITUTE each of their POSITIONS in a crystal lattice.
