Question

What are the features of transition metal?

Answer 1

The transition elements are placed between S and P block elements. They are divided as first transition series (the elements from Sc to Cu), the second transition series (the elements from Y to Ag), and the third transition series (the element La and the elements from Hf to Au).

Actinium (Ac) is the first member of the fourth transition element series, which also consists elements from Rf to Rg. II- B Zn, Cd, and Hg and III- A Sc, Y, La, and Ac are non-typical transition elements while the remaining are typical transition elements.
