  2. They form colored compounds.
  3. They do not form complexes.
  4. They have low melting points.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a characteristic of transition metals?
Correct Answer: Transition metals form colored compounds.
  • Step 1: Understand what transition metals are. They are elements found in the d-block of the periodic table, specifically groups 3 to 12.
  • Step 2: Learn about electron configuration. Transition metals have partially filled d-orbitals.
  • Step 3: Know that when light hits these metals, electrons can move between different energy levels in the d-orbitals.
  • Step 4: This movement of electrons is called d-d electron transitions.
  • Step 5: When these transitions occur, they can absorb certain wavelengths of light, which results in the formation of colored compounds.
