- They form many different compounds with different oxidation

states and colors.

- The only elements that create a magnetic field are Iron,

Nickel, and Cobalt

- High Boiling and Melting Points

- Wide range of oxidation states

- A transition metal is one which forms one or more stable ions which have incompletely filled d orbitals.

- they form colored compounds

- they have high melting points, except mercury which is liquid at room at temperature
