The Transition Metals

The transition metals is a term given to the group of metals that occupy the centre of the periodic table. They are known as the transition elements as they bridge the gap between group 2 and 3. They are all metals, form coloured compounds and can act as catalysts with variable oxidation states.

Transition Metals as Colored Compounds

Transition metals can form colored compounds when bonded to other elements due to the energy levels of the d block where electrons can be excited and move between energy levels.
