Properties of Transition Metals

Question 1

What is the melting and boiling point of transition metals compared to alkali metals?

Answer 1

Transition metlas have a higher melting and boiling point

Question 2

What is the state of transition metals at room temperature?

Answer 2

**Solid **

(except for mercury)

Question 3

What is the density of transition metals in comparison to alkali metals?

Answer 3

Transition metals have a higher density

meaning alkali will float on water and transitions will easily sink
