Yes, transition metals are known to be stable. This is because, both, their ions and compounds are also considered to be stable.
Some transition state metals have the capacity for magnetism; iron is a transition state metal, for example.
No, the alkali earth metals and halogens are the most reactive
No. They are reactive and form many different compounds.
No, all but one (technetium) are stable.
metals
The most of the chemical elements are metals. Most are transition metals (located in the middle of the Periodic Table).
Scandium is a metal because it is in the transition metals section of the Periodic Table. The nonmetals are located near the right of the periodic table and the metalloids are right next to them between the metal and nonmetals. There are only few metalloids.
The elements on the periodic table are ordered from left to right as metals, metalloids, and nonmetals. The left side consists mostly of metals, which are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. In the middle, we have metalloids, which possess properties of both metals and nonmetals. The right side contains nonmetals, which are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity and have varying physical properties.
- The Group 1A elements are called alkali metals. - The Group 2A elements are called alkaline earth metals. - The nonmetals of Group 7A are called halogens. - The Group 8A elements are called the Noble Gases
The list is very long for Wiki Answers; see a periodic table.

As we look across the periodic table from left to right, we see metals on the left, transition metals through the middle and nonmetals on the right. What we left out was that group of elements between the transition metals and the nonmetals, and these semimetals are called metalloids.Metaloids have properties that are in between those of transition metals and nonmetals, or perhaps properties that are some combination of those of transition metals and nonmetals. The elements in this group include boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium.
Non-metals are located on the right side. Transitional metals in the middle area.

Transition metals/nonmetals
The three classes of elements are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.
Scandium is a metal because it is in the transition metals section of the Periodic Table. The nonmetals are located near the right of the periodic table and the metalloids are right next to them between the metal and nonmetals. There are only few metalloids.
The elements are classified as metals and non metals. Apart from this, there are elements that are metalloids, transition elements, inert in nature.
Well, several are, and from left to right. Alkali metals Alkaline earth metals. Transition metals. Metaloids. Nonmetals. Halogens. Nobel gasses.
