Question

When compared to group 1 metals, the transition metals are:

  1. Softer
  2. Harder
  3. Equally harder
  4. Cannot be said

hintHint:

Harder

The correct answer is: Harder


    When compared to group 1 metals, the transition metals are harder as they have more unpaired electrons in the valence shell. They form really strong metallic bonds, resulting in the extreme hardness as compared to alkali metals.
