Subjective

Reactivity of transition elements decreases almost regularly from Se to Cu . Explain.

Explanation

Reactivity of transition elements depends mostly upon their ionisation enthalpies. As we move from left to right in the periodic table ( Se to Cu ), ionisation enthalpies increase almost regularly. Hence, their reactivity decreases almost regularly from Se to Cu .
