A) Due to \[{{d}^{10}}\] configuration, metallic bonds are strong
B) Due to \[{{d}^{7}}\] configuration, metallic bonds are weak
C) Due to \[{{d}^{5}}\] configuration, metallic bonds are weak
D) None of these
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Due to \[{{d}^{5}}\] configuration, metallic bonds are weak. \[{{d}^{5}}\] Orbital is half filled as a result \[3d\] electrons are more tightly held by the nucleus and this reduces the de-localization of electrons resulting in weaker metallic bonding.
