Transition metals tend to have all the characteristics we generally expect of metals: they mostly have high densities and melting points, are lustrous and hard and have medium to low reactivity with such things as acids. (There are exceptions to each of these properties, e.g. Mercury is liquid at room temperature.) In addition, they have variable valency, form coloured compounds and coordination complexes and they and their compounds are frequently catalysts.
