Which of the following has the lowest boiling point?
Correct answer: C. Manganese
- A. Titanium
- B. Chromium
- C. Manganese
- D. Vanadium
Explanation
Boiling point is generally related to the strength of metallic bonding. Stronger metallic bonds require more energy to break, resulting in higher boiling points.Manganese has the lowest boiling point among the given elements because it has a weaker metallic bond compared to titanium, chromium, and vanadium. This is due to its electronic configuration and the weaker interatomic forces present in manganese.

About Transition Elements
Transition elements are identified by their partially filled d subshells in atoms or common ions. The topic covers the electronic structure of d-block elements, including the filling order of 4s and 3d orbitals, variable oxidation states and the distinction between transition elements and elements with completely filled d subshells.
