Transition metals have a variety of properties, but one of the largest is that transition metals, in most cases, don't have a set charge. Depending on what anion they are paired with, their charge will change anywhere from 1 to 7.

What elements have more predictable properties main group elements or transition elements?
main group elements
What elements are in groups 3-4 of the periodic table?
Transition elements are present in group 3-4. These elements have different properties.
Are isotopes different in terms of their chemical properties?
A difference of chemical properties is observed for light elements; for other elements these differences are extremely small.
Do atoms of copper and iron generally form stable bonds with transition elements?
Yes, atoms of copper and iron can generally form stable bonds with transition elements. Copper and iron are both transition elements themselves and can form stable bonds with other transition elements. The stability of the bonds will depend on factors such as the electronegativity and bonding properties of the specific elements involved.
Is their a relation between uses of the transition metal as a catalyst and the properties of transition metals?
One property of transition metals is that all elements and compounds in transition metals act as a catalyst ( speeds up chemical reactions. )xcool77
Do the transition elements display metallic or non metallic properties?
The transition elements are metals. As with all metals, the transition elements are both ductile and malleable, and conduct electricity and heat.
Properties of transition elements at room tempertature?
Transition elements are ALL solid metals except for mercury (80Hg) which is a liquid.
What elements have more predictable properties main group elements or transition elements?
main group elements
Do transition elements have unpredictable properties?
yes. because they have multiple oxidation state
Trends in the properties of elements in a group or period can be explained in terms of?
Electron Configuration
What elements are in groups 3-4 of the periodic table?
Transition elements are present in group 3-4. These elements have different properties.
Elements in groups 3 through 12 have many useful properties and are called?
Even though 3 does not seem like a transition metal, elements 3-12 are all transition metals.
Are isotopes different in terms of their chemical properties?
A difference of chemical properties is observed for light elements; for other elements these differences are extremely small.
What is the difference in metallic and nonmetallic elements?
Differences exist in chemical and physical properties.
Do atoms of copper and iron generally form stable bonds with transition elements?
Yes, atoms of copper and iron can generally form stable bonds with transition elements. Copper and iron are both transition elements themselves and can form stable bonds with other transition elements. The stability of the bonds will depend on factors such as the electronegativity and bonding properties of the specific elements involved.
Is their a relation between uses of the transition metal as a catalyst and the properties of transition metals?
One property of transition metals is that all elements and compounds in transition metals act as a catalyst ( speeds up chemical reactions. )xcool77
Which set of properties is most characterictic of transition elements?
Colored ions in solution, multiple positive oxidation states.
