Chemistry - d and f Block Elements

Practise 26 Manipal (MET) previous year questions on d and f Block Elements, compiled from papers spanning 2010 to 2024. Each question is pulled directly from the actual exam paper it appeared in, so you're practising in the exact style and difficulty Manipal (MET) tests.

d and f Block Elements has been asked in 13 of the 15 years of Manipal (MET) papers analysed (2010–2024), with 26 questions in all. 23% of them were easy, 65% moderate and 12% tough. Most of its questions came from 2019, with 4 questions that year. In the last three years (2022–2024) it had 3 questions across 3 papers, about 1 per paper.

The chapter's 3 topics are not weighted equally: Properties of D-block elements (13 questions, 50%), Compounds of Transition Metals (11 questions, 42%), and F-Block elements (2 questions, 8%) have been asked the most. Over the last five years the most frequent topics have been Compounds of Transition Metals (4), Properties of D-block elements (2), and F-Block elements (1). Compounds of Transition Metals has produced the most tough questions (3).
