A transition metal is a metallic element with the possibility of variable valencies and an incomplete d-shell. The incomplete d-shells allow electronic excitations when bonded to other non-metals liberating a wave length which is generally in the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Thus having highly coloured compounds.

alkai metals, alkaline earth metals, lanthanoids, actinoids, transistion metals, poor metals, other non-metals, noble gases.
Groups 1-12 are metals 1-2 are the alkaline and alkaline earth metals, 3-12 are the transistion mrtals and.13-18 are nonmetals.
These elements are known as transition metals or d-block elements
Mg - Magnesium
iron
It's when bad things happen to you.
Sodium is an alkali metal.
Transistion zones.
inner transistion elements or rare earth elements
Elements forming colored ions often come from the transition metals in the d-block of the periodic table. Transition metals have partially filled d orbitals which can absorb and emit light, leading to the formation of colored ions due to electronic transitions within the metal atom.
silver, copper, tin, and mercury is used also know as amalgam.
In transistion between the tonic and the next chord. Tension/release.
