Question

Which of the following are characteristics of transition metals?

Answer 1

Answer:

High melting point,High density,Nonreactive

Explanation:

The following are the Properties of transition elements:

They have large charge/radius ratio. They are harder and they have high densities;.They have high melting and boiling points.They form compounds which are paramagnetic. They show variable oxidation states. They form colored ions and compounds. Compounds are formed with profound catalytic activity. Stable complexes are formed by them.

When Comparing with the alkali metals present in group 1 and the alkaline Earth metals that are present in group 2, the transition metals are considered to be much less reactive. They do not react fast with water or oxygen, which contributes to their resistance to corrosion.
