Transition metal oxides (TMOs) exhibit a rich collection of interesting and intriguing properties, which can be tailored for a wide variety of applications including low-loss power delivery, quantum computing using cooper pairs, ultra high-density magnetic data storage and more recently spintronic applications. Many transition metal oxides have been prepared in bulk form or as thin films, which paved the way for intensive research studies in the past several decades. We expect nanostructures, in particular, nanowires made of transition metal oxides may offer enormous opportunities to explore intriguing physics and also practical applications. However, obtaining single crystalline and high quality TMO nanowires has been a long-standing issue to the investigators in this field. The difficulty is largely related to the complex composition of TMOs, and most synthetic techniques developed in the past for semiconductive nanowires can not be simply applied due to issues like phase separation and the lack of suitable catalysts.
Iron is classified as a transition state metal for exactly the same reason that any other element is classified as a transition state element, which is that it has incompletely filled inner electron orbitals.
No. It is not. Iron is an element. Oxygen is an element. Iron Oxide is a compound.
One transition metal oxide that has appearance and conductivity similar to copper is cuprous oxide (Cu2O). Cuprous oxide is a red or brown solid with metallic conductivity and is often used as a pigment and in semiconductor applications.
The conversion of an oxide to an element can be achieved through a process called reduction, where the oxide is reacted with a reducing agent to remove the oxygen and obtain the pure element.
No. Mercury is an element and oxygen is an element, but together they form a compound.
Iron oxide (Fe2O3), also known as rust, is an example of an oxide of a transition element. It is a common compound that forms when iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of water or air.
Examples: Cr2O3, MnO2, NiO.

Hafnium (Hf) is a natural chemical element.
Transition
Sand is primarily composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2), which is the oxide of the element silicon.
No, aluminum oxide is not an element. Indeed, nothing called an "oxide" can be an element, as this term indicates that the substance is combined with oxygen and is therefore a compound, not an element.
No. It is not. Iron is an element. Oxygen is an element. Iron Oxide is a compound.
Nickel is not an inner transition element.
Oxygen is the element. It's a compound because the oxygen bonds with another element to form an oxide.
Barium Oxide
Burn the element in oxygen and you get the oxide
