What else can I help you with?
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.
What is a transition from an agricultural society to one based on industry?
Industrialization.
What is tinsmithing?
Smithing is the act of working metals (as performed by a Smith). Tinsmithing refers to the working of light or white metals such as Tin.
Which metals are strong in tension?
Steel and Titanium
Are transition metals better conductors than alkali metals?
transition metals
How is boron different from the transition metals?
Boron is a metalloid, not a metal. Transition metals are metals.
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.
How do transitional metals differ from the D block elements?
Transition metals make colorful cations. They make compounds with different oxidation numbers.
What are elements in groups 3-12 known as?
Transition Metals! ^-^ http://chemistry.about.com/library/blperiodictable.htm
What name is sometimes used to refer to entire set of d-block elements?
D-block elements are also known as the 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.
Are lanththanide and actinide transition metals?
Now actinoids and lanthanoids are considered as transition metals.
Are transition elements metals?
yes they are metals
Does zinc scandium iron silver contain all transitional metals?
No. Most of the metals listed are not transition metals and most transition metals are not in the list.
Electrons of inner transition metals fill d-sublevels and electrons of transition metals fill f-sublevels?
Actually, it's the other way around. Electrons of transition metals fill d-sublevels, while electrons of inner transition metals fill f-sublevels. Inner transition metals are located in the f-block of the periodic table, while transition metals are located in the d-block.
What is meant by outer transition elements?
Metals from the d-block (by opposition with the inner transition metals).
