How is boron different from the transition metals?
Boron is a metalloid, not a metal. Transition metals are metals.
How many valence electrons may metals have?
Different metals have different numbers of valence electrons. The alkali metals have 1. The alkaline-earth, transition, and inner transition metals have 2. Aluminum and those in its column have 3, tin and lead have 4.
How do the properties of the transition element compare with those of the alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals?
Transition state metals include a wide variety of metals; they include iron, gold, and Mercury which all have strikingly different properties (hard, soft, and liquid, for example). Nonetheless, a comparison can be made between the transition state metals and the alkali and alkaline earth metals; transition state metals are not as chemically active (some transition state metals are actually inert, such as platinum).
Are transition metals better conductors than alkali metals?
transition metals
Are transition metals nonmetals?
Yes, transition metals are known to be stable. This is because, both, their ions and compounds are also considered to be stable.
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. You can read more about transition metal properties from the links below.Source(s):
Is transition metal the same as metalloid?
yes, it's the same thing just two different types to say the same thing.No! They are entirely different. Metalloids are the stair shaped group between transitional metals and non-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.
Which d block elements are not classified as transition elements?
Sc and Zn are not classified as transition metals. They does not have stable different oxidation numbers.
Where do you find the transition metals on the periodic table?
Transition metals are found in the center block of the periodic table, specifically in groups 3-12. They are known for their ability to transition between different oxidation states, which gives them their name. Transition metals have unique properties such as forming colorful compounds and acting as catalysts in chemical reactions.
Why do the transition metals have multiple oxidation numbers?
Transition metals have multiple oxidation numbers because of their ability to lose different numbers of electrons from their outermost d orbitals. These d orbitals can accommodate varying numbers of electrons, resulting in different oxidation states for transition metals based on how many electrons they gain or lose during chemical reactions.
Who discovered transition metals?
The concept of transition metals in the periodic table was first proposed by Charles Janet in 1929. He organized the periodic table in a unique format that highlighted the transition elements between different groups of elements.
