- The transition elements
- Physical properties: good conductors of electricity and thermal energy, hard, strong, high densities, high melting points (except mercury)
- Chemical properties: less reactive than alkali metals, corrode slowly, react slowly, useful as structural materials
- Compounds of the transition elements:
- Copper (II)sulfate is blue due to it's Cu 2+ ions
- Nickel (II) carbonate is pale green due to it's Ni 2+ ions
- Chromium (II) oxide is dark green due to it's Cr 3+ ions
- Manganese (II) chloride is a pale pink due to it's Mn 2+ ions

- Physical properties: good conductors of electricity and thermal energy, hard, strong, high densities, high melting points (except mercury)
- Chemical properties: less reactive than alkali metals, corrode slowly, react slowly, useful as structural materials
- They usually contain a roman number- this is because they can form more than one ion
- Transition elements and their compounds can be used as catalysts in the chemical industry.
