One property of transition metals is that all elements and compounds in transition metals act as a catalyst ( speeds up chemical reactions. )xcool77

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.
There are 8 transition metals. Elements from V to Cu belong to this.
Iron has more important mechanical properties.
Even though 3 does not seem like a transition metal, elements 3-12 are all transition metals.
elements in groups 3-12 are transition metals
Transition state metals include a wide variety of metals; they include iron, gold, and Mercury which all have strikingly different properties (hard, soft, and liquid, for example). Nonetheless, a comparison can be made between the transition state metals and the alkali and alkaline earth metals; transition state metals are not as chemically active (some transition state metals are actually inert, such as platinum).
The physical properties of transition metals are determined by their electron configurations. Most transition metals are hard solids with relatively high melting and boiling points. Differences in properties among transition metals are based on the ability of unpaired d electrons to move into the valence level. The more unpaired electrons in the d sublevel, the greater the hardness and the higher the melting and boiling points.

Group-1 and 2 have metallic properties. They possess same properties.
The transition elements are metals. As with all metals, the transition elements are both ductile and malleable, and conduct electricity and heat.

Transition metals are placed in groups 3 to 12.
In period 2, there are no transition metals.In period 3, there are no transition metals.
the groups of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, and other metal are all metals and some of the metalloids have metallic properties and the alkali, alkaline are on the left, transition metals are in the middle, other metals are located directly next to the transition metals and the metalloids are next to the other metals, and then you have halogens and Nobel gases, Lanthanides and Actinides which are all gases and rare earth.
