Cards (7)
- Transition metals are in the centre of the periodic table , between Groups 2 and 3
- Transition Metals form coloured compounds
- Transition metals have ions with different charges (e.g. Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺)
- Transition metals can be used as catalysts to speed up chemical reactions
- Transition metals are good conductors of heat and electricity , and can be easily bent or hammered into shape
- Transition metals are stronger , harder and more dense than alkali metals
- Transition metals have higher melting points and are less reactive than the alkali metals
