They have multiple oxidation states (owing to the d orbital)
it was more improved than the early transition metals....and in late transition the perodic table was complety done
Transitional Metals
The elements in the middle of the periodic table are known as transition metals. These metals include elements such as iron, copper, and gold, and they exhibit characteristic properties such as variable oxidation states and the ability to form complex ions.
Metals are located to the left of the stair-step line on the periodic table.
I believe they are called Transitional Metals
they all have at least one electron
They both are highly reactive and are not found in nature in elemental state.
transitional metals all either have one or two valence electrons, are all solids(excluding mercury), and are usually found combined in nature
The families of metals are categorized into groups on the periodic table. Some common families of metals include the alkali metals (Group 1), alkaline earth metals (Group 2), transition metals (Groups 3-12), and the lanthanides and actinides (below the main table).
No. Most of the metals listed are not transition metals and most transition metals are not in the list.
Al is a transitional metal since it is under the stair-step line that divides transitional metals from non-metals.
If I am right, they are known as 'transitional metals'.
