Explain why do the transition elements have higher enthalpies of atomization?

Transition elements have higher enthalpies of atomization because they have d- orbitals. These d-orbitals have unpaired electrons. Unpaired electrons increase the interatomic interactions and increase the heat of atomization. Elements of d- block having a higher number of unpaired electrons have higher enthalpies of transition.
