24One reason may be taht the coefficient of thermal expansion depends upon the structure and packing in 3D....
And we know that the electronic configuration decides packing style in 3D...so its dependent
does the coefficient of thermal expansion of metals depend on the electronic configuration of the metals?

39The enthalpy of monovalent metals is calculated as a function of electron density according to the model of nearly free electrons.
The coefficient of thermal expansion of solid and liquid monovalent metals is given by heat capacity and Fermi energy, αp(T) = 2.5 × Cp(T)/εf(T).
The agreement with experimental data is quite satisfactory for all alkali and noble metals.
39source was a ebook i had ...
anyways its no way related to jee syllabus as far as i can see
3yes it depends bcos we know dat the coefficient of expansion is different for gold and aluminium na,the difference between them is the configuration of electrons and the nucleons.It was a guess so it will not be rite,just giving my reply for feedbacks.
