Transition Metals

Question 1

Transition metals physical properties

Answer 1

Good conductors of heat/ electricity
High melting points except hg
Malleable
Hard and Strong
High density

Question 2

Transition metal chemical qualities

Answer 2

Can form coloured compounds
Not very reactive
Forms ions with different charges
Reacts with oxygen slowly
Reacts with water slowly
React with halogens slowly
Used as catalysts
React with non metals to form compounds

Question 3

Group one physical qualities

Answer 3

Good thermal conductors
Good electrical conductors
Shiny and silver
Low melting and boiling points
Low density
Not as strong

Question 4

Group one chemical properties

Answer 4

React with non metals to form compounds
Very reactive
Only forms ions with a 1+ charge
React with oxygen quickly
React with water vigorously
React with halogens easily

Question 5

Similarities between group one and transition metals?

Answer 5

Good thermal and electrical conductors
React with non metals to form compounds

Question 6

Differences between group one and transition metals

Answer 6

TM - high density , G1 - low density
TM- hard and strong , G1 - not as strong
TM- forms ions of any charge, G1- forms ions with 1+ charge
TM- reacts with water slowly , G1 reacts with water vigorously
