They are malleable.

∙ 13y agoAny of the metallic elements that have an incomplete inner electron shell (d sub-shell) and that serve as transitional links between the most and the least electropositive in a series of elements. They are characterized by multiple valences, colored compounds, and the ability to form stable complex ions. Also called transition metal.
Technically Scandium and Zinc are not transition metals as they form only one ion which leads to Scandium having a completely empty d-sub shell and in Zinc; a completely full d sub-shell.
The technical definition of a transition metal is when the metal contain at least one unpaired d-sub shell in at least one ion.

What group of elements are not included in the alien periodic table?
Transition metals
Which of the following elements is a transition metal?
Transition metals are the elements with atomic numbers: 21-30, 39-48, 55-80, 89-112.:
Group 3-12 contain metals known as?
elements in groups 3-12 are transition metals
Which category do most elements belong to?
Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe followed by Helium (what stars are mostly made of). On the periodic table the "Transition Metals" have the most elements. The periodic table can be broken up into the following catagories from left to right: Alkali Metals, Alkaline Earth Metals, Transition Metals, Metaloids, Nonmetals, halogens, and noble gases. Lanthanides and Actinides are broken out at the bottom.
Which group occupies the large middle section of the periodic table?
Transition elements occupy central block. They are present between group3 to12.
What are three characteristic of transition metals?
Transition metals are located in groups 3-12. They are malleable, tensile, and good conductors of electricity and heat.
Into which of the following groups is iron placed?
transition metals
What characteristic of the transitional metal?
it was more improved than the early transition metals....and in late transition the perodic table was complety done
Which of the following groups of elements are in the main group alkali metals non metals transition elements or halogens?
Alkali metalsNonmetalsHalogens
What property of transition metals is responsible for their characteristic ductility malleability and conductivity?
the sea of electrons shared between metal atoms
Are transition metals better conductors than alkali metals?
transition metals
What group of elements are not included in the alien periodic table?
Transition metals
How is boron different from the transition metals?
Boron is a metalloid, not a metal. Transition metals are metals.

yes they are. :)
