The transition metals themselves are not particularly highly coloured. Gold is golden, copper is copper but the majority are grey or silver with a greater or lesser degree of shine.
The compounds formed by transition metals (as opposed to those of group one and two metals) are highly coloured and as with all metals they all burn with distinctive flame colours.

What element family does the element iron belong to?
The element family that iron belongs to on the periodic table is the transition metals family. Other elements in this family include cobalt and nickel.
Where are the metals semi metals and nonmetals located on the periodic table?
Non-metals are located on the right side. Transitional metals in the middle area.
Is iron a metal a nonmetal or a metalloid?
Iron is a metal. In fact, it is part of a group of metals known as transition metals, located in the middle of the Periodic Table.
What are the characteristics of the transition metals?
it was more improved than the early transition metals....and in late transition the perodic table was complety done
What are applications of visible spectroscopy?

Are transition metals better conductors than alkali metals?
transition metals
What group or groups of metals in the periodic table often form coloured complexes?
Transition metals, located in Groups 3-12 of the periodic table, often form colored complexes due to their partially filled d orbitals, which can absorb light in the visible range. These metals can exhibit a wide range of colors in their complexes depending on the ligands they are bound to and the oxidation state they are in.
How is boron different from the transition metals?
Boron is a metalloid, not a metal. Transition metals are metals.
What are transistion metals?
A transition metal is a metallic element with the possibility of variable valencies and an incomplete d-shell. The incomplete d-shells allow electronic excitations when bonded to other non-metals liberating a wave length which is generally in the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Thus having highly coloured compounds. Dirk Muscat BEd. Chemistry student A transition metal is a metallic element with the possibility of variable valencies and an incomplete d-shell.

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.
Why k3crc2o43.3h20 K2CuC2O42.2H2O is colored?
It is likely to be the Cr and the Cu. Transition metals often give very nicely coloured products. Lone pairs from oxygen can also enhance this

D-block elements are also known as the transition metals.

Now actinoids and lanthanoids are considered as transition metals.
Are transition elements metals?
yes they are metals
