Question

which property do transition metals have in common? (1 point)
they are usually very reactive.
they are usually very soft.
they usually have low densities.
they usually have high melting points.

Explanation:

Transition metals have strong metallic bonds due to the delocalization of electrons in their d - orbitals. This strong bonding results in high melting points.

• Alkali metals (not transition metals) are very reactive.
• Transition metals are generally hard (e.g., iron, tungsten).
• Transition metals have relatively high densities compared to alkali metals.

Answer:

They usually have high melting points.
