first of all

◆ what are transition elements?

• the elements from group 3-12 are transition elements.
• the transition metals form colored compounds.
• good conductors of heat and electricity.
• they are malleable and have high melting points.
• they are not highly reactive like sodium and potassium.

◆ Why transition metal have many alloys?

• the transition elements have almost similar size of atomic radius or one can use term atomic SIZE.
• due to the similarity in their sizes they can easily take up position in the crystalline lattices of other. { crystalline lattices ---> arrangement of atoms, ions or molecules in a crystalline solid or structure. }
• they can form alloys with themselves as well as other elements readily.
