Transitions Metals

Transition metals are elements found in the middle of the periodic table, known for their ability to form colorful compounds and conduct electricity. They have partially filled d-orbitals, which allow them to easily change oxidation states (gain or lose electrons). This property makes them versatile in forming a variety of compounds, including metals, alloys, catalysts, and pigments. Examples include iron, copper, and nickel. Their unique electron configurations grant them strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, making them essential in construction, manufacturing, and technology.
