The melting and boiling points of transition elements increases from scandium (1530 ∘C) to vanadium (1917 ∘C). They increase because as we go across the group, we have more unpaired (free) electrons.
But at chromium (1890 ∘C) however, the melting point decreases even though it has more unpaired electrons than the previous atoms. Why does this happen?
