Q. Which point is not related to transition metals?

A
They exhibit high melting and boiling points
B
They do not show variable valency
C
They have catalytic properties
D
Generally coloured compounds
Solution:
  • These elements form coloured compounds and ions.
  • Many paramagnetic compounds are formed by these elements, because of the unpaired electrons in the d orbital.
  • These elements have a large ratio of charge to the radius.
  • Transition metals tend to be hard and they have relatively high densities when compared to other elements.
  • The boiling points and the melting points of these elements are high, due to the participation of the delocalized d electrons in metallic bonding.
  • This metallic bonding of the delocalized d electrons also causes the transition elements to be good conductors of electricity.
