    Transition elements have high density, hardness, electrical conductivity, tensile strength, and melting and boiling points. They form colored ions like blue Cu2+, green Fe2+, brown Fe3+, and pink Co2+. Transition elements exhibit different oxidation numbers, form complex ions with at least 3 elements, and can act as catalysts to alter the rate of chemical reactions.

    4.6 Transition Elements

    Physical properties:
    (1) High density
    (2) High hardness
    (3) High electrical conductivity
    (4) High tensile strength
    (5) Slivery surface
    (6) Ductile and malleable
    (7) High melting point
    (8) High boiling point

    *The atomic radius and electronegativity of the transition elements are almost the same.

    Special characteristics of transition elements

    (1) They form coloured ions or compound.


    Cu2+ ions = Blue
    2+
    Fe ions = Green
    Fe3+ ions = Brown
    2+
    Co ions = Pink (Cobalt)

    (2) They exhibit different oxidation numbers

    (3) They form complex ions


    *At least 3 elements

    (4) They can act as catalysts


    * A catalyst is a chemical substance which can alter, change the rate of reaction.
