Which among the following properties is $\underline{NOT}$ exhibited by transition elements?
Which among the following properties is $\underline{NOT}$ exhibited by transition elements?
These are generally hard.
These form alloys with other metals.
These do not conduct heat.
These are malleable and ductile.
Solution
- Transition elements do conduct heat well, as they are good conductors of both heat and electricity.
- They are typically hard, can form alloys with other metals, and are also malleable and ductile, which are common properties of metals in general.
