Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can describe the physical and chemical properties and some uses of transition metals, and compare them to Group 1 metals.

Show transcript
Transition metals are generally stronger, harder, more dense and have higher melting points than Group 1 metals. Transition metals react slowly with water or don’t react with it at all. Transition metals are often catalysts that speed up chemical reactions. Transition metals can form ions with different charges and their compounds often exhibit vibrant colours.
