Q. Which point is not related to transition metals?
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.
