All the transition state metals can be found in the clearly marked central portion of the Periodic Table of elements, but I will tell you that most of the well-known metals, such as iron, copper, gold, lead, zinc, nickel, chromium, platinum, etc., are transition state elements. The only really well known metal that is not a transition state element is aluminum. Other metals such as calcium or sodium are also not transition state elements, but they are not often encountered in their metallic form, they are encountered in compounds such as salt. Metals that we encounter in metallic form are almost always transition state elements.
What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
What are elements in groups 3-12 known as?
Transition Metals! ^-^ http://chemistry.about.com/library/blperiodictable.htm
What name is sometimes used to refer to entire set of d-block elements?
D-block elements are also known as the transition metals.
Are lanththanide and actinide transition metals?
Now actinoids and lanthanoids are considered as transition metals.
Are transition elements metals?
yes they are metals
Does zinc scandium iron silver contain all transitional metals?
No. Most of the metals listed are not transition metals and most transition metals are not in the list.
Electrons of inner transition metals fill d-sublevels and electrons of transition metals fill f-sublevels?
Actually, it's the other way around. Electrons of transition metals fill d-sublevels, while electrons of inner transition metals fill f-sublevels. Inner transition metals are located in the f-block of the periodic table, while transition metals are located in the d-block.
What is meant by outer transition elements?
Metals from the d-block (by opposition with the inner transition metals).
Do transition metals have a simple or complex arrangement of electrons?
Transition metals have a complex arrangement of electrons.
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.
