Front (Question)

Physical properties of transition elements

Back (Answer)

• good conductors of heat/electricity • hard and strong • high density • high melting points (except mercury which is a liquid)

#2
Front (Question)

Chemical properties of transition elements

Back (Answer)

• much less reactive than alkali metals • do not react as easily with oxygen/water than alkali metals do • only reacts with other elements in the correct conditions

#3
Front (Question)

Reactions of the transition elements

Back (Answer)

• always form positive ions - always form different coloured compounds

Front (Question)

Why do they form different coloured compounds

Back (Answer)

due to the different charges of the metal ions in the compound
