MHT CET 2026 Chemistry question
Which element from following has highest melting point?
Answer: (B)
Solution
The melting points of 3d transition metals rise to a maximum near the middle of the series (where the number of unpaired electrons available for metallic bonding is greatest) and then fall; Mn is anomalous because of its stable half-filled configuration and weak metallic bonding.
