Why is the chemistry of the transition elements less predictable than the chemistry of the main group elments?

One mut understand the sublevels of electron orbitals. There is an s, p, d, and f sublevel. Main group elments have electron is s and p sublevel. Transition metals have elecrons in the s, p, and d sublevel. One one thing to understand is that an atom wants to be stable. Stablity includes full outer shells, 1/2 full outer shells, full sublevels, 1/2 full sublevels, and no arrangement. In transition metals, there are many combinations of stability levels. This changes electron configuration in each combination, changing the chemisty.

BaNO32 This is strong electrolyte weak electrolyte or nonelectrolyte?
it is a strong electrolyte because it occurs in strong bases and that's why it is bonded between two different elments

How do compounds differ from elments?
Compounds is a pure chemical substance made of two different elements. Elements is pure chemical substance containing only one atom.
What is te reason for naming all elments in peridic table?
The elements are given different names. This is done in order to identify them.

Can copper combine with other elments?
Yes, copper readily combines with several other elements. Combined with zinc it is brass, combined with tin it is bronze. It combines with many other elements including oxygen and sulfur.
What is the spectrum of sunlight?
spectrum of light is the colors of son or u can say the elements of sun. we find out the elments of sun with the help of spectroscope, a prism in spectroscope help to break down the colors or spectra of sun light. spectrum of light is the colors of son or u can say the elements of sun. we find out the elments of sun with the help of spectroscope, a prism in spectroscope help to break down the colors or spectra of sun light.
What does elments found in the same family on the periodic table have in common?
Elements in the same family (group) on the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons and hence they have similar properties and reactivities.
