transition elements

    Cards (8)

    • they are good conductors of electricity and thermal energy
    • hard and strong
    • they have high density
    • high melting point
    • less reactive but harder and stronger and dense than group 1
    • if transition elements corrode they do so very slowly this makes them as a very useful as structural materials
    • transition elements and their compounds are important industrial catalysts
    • transitions elements do not react vigorously with oxygen or water
