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):


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.


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.


What are elements that form a bridge between the elements on the left and right side of the periodic table?

Transition metals such as titanium, iron, and copper act as a bridge between elements on the left and right side of the periodic table. This is because they exhibit a wide range of chemical properties and can form multiple oxidation states. Transition metals are located in the d-block of the periodic table.


What are the symbols of two transition metals?

Iron (Fe) and Copper (Cu) are two common transition metals.

What is one physical differrence between transition metals and poor metals?

One physical difference is their ductility: transition metals tend to be ductile (can be drawn into thin wires) and malleable (can be hammered into thin sheets), while poor metals are less ductile and malleable.

What is the difference between transitoin element and p and s blocks in a periodic table?

Transition metals form ions with incomplete d orbitals.


Is transition metals the same as regular metasls?

The transition metals are the ones in the middle of the Periodic Table, between group 2 and group 3. Not sure what you mean by 'Regular Metals', but Iron (Fe) is a transition metal also.


Where are metals non metals metaloids transition metals inner transition metals located on the periodic table?

Metals are located in the left hand side of the periodic table, non metals are located on the right and metalloids are located in between as a 'bridge'.


How many elements are in transition metals?

transition metals are not in any groups, however they are elements between group II & III of the periodic table


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).

What are semiametals?

As we look across the periodic table from left to right, we see metals on the left, transition metals through the middle and nonmetals on the right. What we left out was that group of elements between the transition metals and the nonmetals, and these semimetals are called metalloids.Metaloids have properties that are in between those of transition metals and nonmetals, or perhaps properties that are some combination of those of transition metals and nonmetals. The elements in this group include boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium.


How is boron different from the transition metals?

Boron is a metalloid, not a metal. Transition metals are metals.
