Answer

Transition elements are d- block elements. The transition elements are having incomplete inner subshells other than the outer shell. This allows transition metals to form several oxidation states

Work Step by Step

characteristics of transition of metals : Transition elements are elements that have partially filled d orbitals. There 38 transition elements are are in the periodic table. Properties of transition elements : 1. Have large charge /radius ratio 2. are hard and high density 3. paramagnetic nature 4. shows variable oxidation states 5. elements shows catalytic activity
