Transition metals with very high enthalpies of atomisation tend to behave how?
AEasily oxidised in air
BVery reactive with water
CNoble in reactions
DStrong reducing agents
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Noble in reactions
A large atomisation enthalpy makes the electrode potential less favourable, so such metals act as noble metals.
