What are the metals called in groups 3-12 that do not give away their electrons as easily as atoms of groups 1 and 2?

The metals in groups 3-12 are called transition metals. They have higher ionization energies than those in groups 1 and 2, making them less likely to readily give away their electrons. Transition metals often form colorful compounds and exhibit variable oxidation states.


How do transition metals form compounds?

Transition metals typically form compounds by losing electrons to create positively charged ions, which then bond with other atoms to form compounds. These metals often exhibit variable oxidation states, allowing them to form a variety of compounds with different elements. Commonly, transition metals form coordination compounds by donating electrons to ligands to create complex structures.


What is one key physical difference between transition metals and poor metals?

One key physical difference between transition metals and poor metals is that transition metals have high melting and boiling points compared to poor metals. Transition metals also tend to be more malleable and ductile, while poor metals are typically softer and have lower melting points.


What are the symbols of two transition metals?

Iron (Fe) and Copper (Cu) are two common transition metals.


What is the difference between late transition metals and early transition metals?

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.

Why are alkali metals more reactive than transitional metals?

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.


Are transition metals better conductors than alkali metals?

transition metals


How is boron different from the transition metals?

Boron is a metalloid, not a metal. Transition metals are metals.


Are there more metals or nonmetals?

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.


Metals that are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals are called?

I believe that the answer you are looking for is Transition Metals.
