Transition Mentals (comparing Physcial/ Chemical Propeties With Alkali Metals) Flashcards

1
Q

Give a brief description of transition metals ?

A

High melting points, harder than group 1 metals, high densities, form colored compounds, they make very good catalysts and are featured at the centre of the periodic table

Q

How are group 1 and transition metals different ?

A

Group 1
- low density
- reactive
- low melting point
- soft

Transition
- high density
- high melting point
- un reactive ( oxygen and water )
- hard
