What are some shared properties of both transition metals and alkali metals.
RideAnS [48]

Both transition metals and alkali metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, react with water, and are easily oxidized.

<h3>What are alkali metals and transition metals?</h3>

The alkali metals are elements of group 1 which are lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), caesium (Cs), and francium (Fr).  They are also known as the s-block elements because they have their outermost electron in an s-orbital.

The alkali metals are shiny, soft, highly reactive metals and readily lose their outermost electron to create cations with charge +1. They can tarnish rapidly in the air due to oxidation by atmospheric moisture and oxygen.

Transition elements or transition metals are elements that have partially filled d-orbitals. An element having a d-subshell that is partially filled with electrons or can form stable cations with an incompletely filled d orbital.

Any element present in the d-block of the modern periodic table which consists of groups 3 to 12, is considered to be a transition element. For example, the mercury in the +2 oxidation state, corresponds to an electronic configuration of (n-1)d¹⁰. Many paramagnetic compounds are formed by transition metals because they have unpaired electrons in the d orbital.
