The transition metals have variable oxidation states, meaning they form several different positive ions.
Examples of these are: (listed with most commonly occurring ion first)
Titanium: 4+, 3+
Vanadium: 5+, 4+
Chromium: 3+, 2+
Manganese: 2+, 4+
Iron: 3+, 2+
Cobalt: 2+, 3+
Nickel: 2+, 3+
Copper: 2+, 1+
Palladium: 2+, 4+
Platinum: 4+, 2+
Gold: 3+, 1+
Mercury: 2+, 1+
Tin: 4+, 2+
Antimony: 3+, 5+
Thallium: 1+, 3+
Lead: 2+, 4+
Bismuth: 3+, 5+
Polonium: 2+, 4+
All transition metals will have a different charge (I-VI) except 3 metals:
Silver (Ag)
Cadmium (Cd)
Zinc (Zn)

Almost all transition metals exhibit multiple oxidation states. Copper Scandium Iron Vanadium and Titanium all have multiple states.
Iron is a transition metal. Transition metals can have more than one charge. Iron can be a +2 or a +3 charge.
Im pretty sure that there are more transition metals than metals or metalloids Logically, though, it is impossible for there to be more transition metals than metals! The latest IUPAC periodic table recognises 114 elements. Borders are a little blurred but there are about 18 non-metals, about 6 metalloids, and about 90 metals. Of the ~90 metals, 38 are transition metals, 30 are lanthanoids and actinoids, and the remaining ~22 are "main group" metals. On this basis of classification, transition metals are the largest single group
"Metallic" is not a metal. But elements that are metals, are metallic.
Transition metals
Yes, transition metals generally have higher melting points compared to alkaline and alkali metals. This is because transition metals have a greater number of valence electrons and a stronger metallic bond, which requires more energy to break and transition from solid to liquid. In contrast, alkaline and alkali metals have fewer valence electrons and weaker metallic bonds, resulting in lower melting points.
Iron is a transition metal. Transition metals can have more than one charge. Iron can be a +2 or a +3 charge.
Because transition metals can assume more than one charge, the transition metal ion is named by using a Roman numeral
This indication is in parenthesis, with Latin numerals: Fe(II), Fe(III).
Transition metals form more than one ionic charge; Roman numerals (in parentheses) follow the ion's name. Cu2+ is copper (II) ion.
no
it was more improved than the early transition metals....and in late transition the perodic table was complety done

The early vs. late transition metals differ in their oxidation states (each metal has different possible oxidation states). Electrons have a stronger attraction to the protons in the late transition metals, so the later transition metals form bonds that are harder to break. You can read more about transition metal properties from the links below.Source(s):
Thiocyanates of Alkali metals are more soluble than that of transition metals.
There are more metals than non-metals. This occurs because of the transition metals group. When looking at a group on the periodic table the transition metals makes up a large portion because they are the atoms that take use of the the d orbital for electrons. The d orbital has room for 10 electrons and therefore there is a large number of transition metals per group.
Groups 3-12 do not have individual names. Instead, all of these groups are called transition metals. The atoms of transition metals do not give away their electrons as easily as atoms of the Group 1 and Group 2 metals do. So, transition metals are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals are.
