Transition Metals
ionic compounds
The transition metals tend to form colored compounds.
Colored ions are normally associated with the transition metals, which aren't actually a "group" in the usual chemical sense of the word. Also, they don't have to be in aqueous solutions.
Yes, transition metals are known to be stable. This is because, both, their ions and compounds are also considered to be stable.

Alkaline Earth metals
Metals are more likely to donate electrons to form ionic compounds. However, some transition metals such as mercury and tin can form covalent bonds in which the metal shares an electron with another atom
All metals can form chemical compounds.
Most transition metals form colored ion-complexes.
All metals, whether they belong to the transition state or not, will form only positive ions. There are a few metals which are extremely hard to ionize, however, those being the noble metals such as gold and platinum. But if you do manage to ionize them, the ions are positive.
