Question

1pt which of the following is true about transition metals?

a. mostly gases, brittle, dull, low density, insulators

b. mostly solids, luster, high density, conductors

c. solids, soft, brittle, reactive, conductors

d. solids, luster, brittle, conductors, reactive

Explanation:

Transition metals are typically solids at room temperature. They have a metallic luster, high density, and are good conductors of heat and electricity. Option A is incorrect as transition metals are not mostly gases. Option C is wrong because transition metals are not soft and brittle. Option D is incorrect as transition metals are not brittle (except for some exceptions but generally not) and their reactivity varies but the description in B is more characteristic.

Answer:

B. mostly solids, luster, high density, conductors
