properties
hard and strong, good conductors, high densities, high melting points
how do they react with oxygen and water
not very vigorously
what can they be used as
electronics- conductivity
jewellery- resistant to tarnishing and malleable
how to transition metals compare to alkali
transition metals are…
- much harder stronger and denser
- much higher melting points
- much less reactive
- do not react with water, oxygen and halogens or else they react very slowly
Many transition elements have ions with
