Answer 1

Properties of transition elements include:

have large charge/radius ratio;

are hard and have high densities;

have high melting and boiling points;

form compounds which are often paramagnetic;

show variable oxidation states;

form coloured ions and compounds;

form compounds with profound catalytic activity;
