Transition metals are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals. They tend to be shiny and conduct thermal energy well.
Hope this helps!~ I first I didn't get it either. : )

Why do transition metals have multiple oxidation states?
Transition metals have multiple oxidation states due to the number of electrons that an atom loses, gains, or uses when joining another atom in compounds. It also determined the ability of an atom to reduce.
Can metals bend?
Yes, many metals can bend, even without being heated (eg. Copper). These are called malleable metals.

Now actinoids and lanthanoids are considered as transition metals.
What things are made of transition metals?
Iron, copper, zinc, gold, lead, and many other important metals are transition state elements. Almost all the metal objects that we have are therefore made from transition state metals. The major exception is aluminum, which is not a transition state element, and which is also used to make lots of things.
