MHT CET 2024 Chemistry question

Which among the following properties is NOT exhibited by transition elements

(A)These are generally hard
(B)These from alloys with other metals
(C)These do not conduct heatCorrect
(D)These are malleable and ductile

Answer: (C)

Solution

Transition elements are typical metals: they are generally hard, have high melting and boiling points, are malleable and ductile, and are good conductors of heat and electricity (due to metallic bonding involving the (n-1)d and ns electrons). They also form alloys with one
