D-block elements are called transition elements because they show variable valencies from coloured ions, para magnetism, and also used as catalysts.

More about d-block elements

• Differentiating electron enters into inner d orbitals (n-1)d subshell.
• Also called as transition metals .
• General electronic configuration (n-1)d¹⁻¹⁰ ns¹⁻² .
• d – block elements are placed between s – block and p – block elements
• They all are metals.
