by losing electrons
Transition metals, such as those in groups 3-12 of the periodic table, are known for forming colorful compounds due to their ability to absorb and reflect different wavelengths of light. The presence of unpaired d electrons in transition metals allows them to participate in various electron transitions, resulting in vibrant colors in their compounds.
Transition metals generally have less reactivity than alkali or alkaline earth metals. This is because transition metals have more filled electron shells which provide greater stability, making it harder for them to lose or gain electrons compared to alkali or alkaline earth metals. Transition metals typically form compounds by sharing electrons or by forming complex ions, unlike alkali or alkaline earth metals that readily form simple ionic compounds by losing electrons.
Transition metals are known for forming compounds with vivid colors due to their partially filled d orbitals. Some examples of transition metals that form colored compounds include chromium (green), copper (blue/green), and cobalt (pink).
The chemical reactivity of transition metals is generally less than that of metals to its left (group 1 and group 2 metals). However, transition metals can exhibit various oxidation states and hence form more number of compounds than group 1 and group 2 elements.
Lutetium tends to form compounds with elements that have similar chemical properties, such as other lanthanides and some transition metals. It does not typically form stable compounds with alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, as they have very different chemical properties from lutetium.
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.

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
Transition metals such as copper or tungsten form compounds by donating and accepting electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. They can form compounds with a wide variety of elements due to their ability to exhibit variable oxidation states. These transition metals often act as catalysts in chemical reactions due to their ability to participate in redox reactions.

Transition metals usually form metallic bonds, where electrons are free to move throughout the metal lattice. They can also form complex ions with ligands in coordination compounds, where coordination bonds are formed through the sharing of electron pairs with the ligands.
All metals can form chemical compounds.
Transition metals are located in groups 3-12. They are malleable, tensile, and good conductors of electricity and heat.
