Transition Metals  Transition elements are ductile, malleable, and conduct electricity and heat. They have high melting and boiling points and are very hard. Most transition metals are solids with the exception of Mercury and Technetium which are liquids.

Here are all the transition metals feel free to click and learn more.

The transition metals are found in groups 3 through 12 on the periodic table (see figure to right)



The transition metals are separated by their D pattern orbit which means that the electrons orbit in more than one shell (see figure to left)

__ Uses in Society __ Most people know some transition metals such as copper which is in pennies and mercury which is in thermometers.

__ Interesting facts __ The transition metals are the largest group on the periodic table. Iron, nickel and cobalt, which are transition elements, are the only elements known to be magnetic. The transition metals include the newest elements created in labs and the oldest ones to. This family of metals is home to many precious metals such as gold silver and platinum. Tungsten, a transition metal, has the highest melting point of any metal (3,410°C) =the elements song= media type="youtube" key="GFIvXVMbII0" height="344" width="425"
