Do transition metals have a simple or complex arrangement of electrons?
Transition metals have a complex arrangement of electrons.
Electrons of inner transition metals fill d-sublevels and electrons of transition metals fill f-sublevels?
That is false
What metals are shiny and have one or two electrons in their outer level?
Transition metals:)
Why do transition metals have magnetic properties?
Transition metals have magnetic properties because they have unpaired electrons in their d-orbitals. These unpaired electrons can align their spins in response to an external magnetic field, which leads to the generation of a magnetic field. This property is responsible for the magnetic behavior of transition metals.
How many elements in zinc?
Zinc belongs to the family of Transition Metals. Transition Metals are ductile, malleable and conduct electricity and heat. They have valence electrons that are present in more than one orbital shell and exhibit similar oxidation states. Elements in the periodic table are set up in columns, grouping them by similar chemical characteristics. Zinc, Cadmium and Mercury all have 2 electrons in their outermost shells.

Transition metals have a complex arrangement of electrons.
What element family do cadmium belong to?
Transition Metals. trust me i asked MRS.Haynie
Electrons of inner transition metals fill d-sublevels and electrons of transition metals fill f-sublevels?
That is false
What type of element is characterized by the presence of electrons in the d orbitals?
All transition metals have valence electrons in a d-orbital.
What does mercury come from?
Transition metals Zinc group or group 12 Zinc, Cadmium, Mercury
What is the family name for cadmium?
If you want to be precise, it is not really a transition metal, because all its d shells are complete. Some call it a post-transition metal. But it is commonly considered as a transition metal.
What family does mercury come from?
Transition metals Zinc group or group 12 Zinc, Cadmium, Mercury
What family Mercury comes from?
Transition metals Zinc group or group 12 Zinc, Cadmium, Mercury
How do transition metals form compounds?
by losing electrons
What metals are shiny and have one or two electrons in their outer level?
Transition metals:)
How many valence electrons are in iridium?
2 valence electrons are in iridium because iridium is a transition metal. Most transitions metal would have 2 valence electrons because the group before the transition metals are the alkaline-earth metals which contains 2 valence electrons in that group making the transition metals have 2 valence electrons.
What is unique about valance electrons in transition metals?
The chemistry is about d electrons. They are all metals. The vast majority of their compounds are colored.
