Transition metals

Alkali metal, any of the six elements of Group 1 (Ia) of the periodic table—lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. The alkali metals are so called because reaction with water forms alkalies (i.e., strong bases capable of neutralizing acids).

Transition metals, transition elements, transition metals properties, Zn, Cd, and Hg are not called transition elements,

This graphic looks at some general properties of the transition metals - I had a little less space to work with than with the previous graphics, on account of the large number of elements that the transition metals encompass, but hopefully...

Here's a list of transition metals. Learn about the characteristics and common properties of the transition metal element group.

Poster showing the colours of different transition metal ions in aqueous solution. You can read more about why this occurs here: http://wp.me/p4aPLT-73

A previous post looked at the colours of transition metals, and the origin of their colours - this graphic, on the other hand, looks at how transition...

Description and origins of Poster sample, a sample of the element Vanadium in the Periodic Table.

Alloy: A mixture of two metals or of a metal and a nonmetal.

Description and origins of INCO S-ROUNDS Electrolytic Nickel, a sample of the element Nickel in the Periodic Table.

This graphic looks at the colours of transition metal ions when they are in aqueous solution (in water), and also looks at the reason why we see coloured compounds and complexes for transition metals. This helps explain, for example, why rust...
