There are 38 transition elements. They are the elements that are members of groups 3 through 12 of the Periodic Table. Iron, copper, gold and silver are just some of the elements asked about here. The industrial applicatons of these metals would fill a book. Several books, in fact.
What else can I help you with?
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.
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):
What are the symbols of two transition metals?
Iron (Fe) and Copper (Cu) are two common transition metals.
Elements in groups 3 through 12 of the periodic table are called?
These elements are known as transition metals or d-block elements
Do electrons of inner transition metals fill d-sublevels and electrons of transition metals fill f-sublevels?
No, electrons of inner transition metals fill f-sublevels, while electrons of transition metals fill d-sublevels. Inner transition metals have their f-sublevels as part of their electron configuration, whereas transition metals have d-sublevels as part of their electron configuration.
How many shells will transition metals use to bond with other elements?
Transition metals can use the two outermost shells/orbitals to bond with other elements.
Are transition metals better conductors than alkali metals?
transition metals
What makes transition metals useful in industry?
They come into useful things from metals come i to use
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
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.
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.
What is meant by outer transition elements?
Metals from the d-block (by opposition with the inner transition metals).
