Natural radioactivity |
Characteristics of transition elements: (i) All the transition elements are metals and they form variable oxidation states. (ii) Transition metals forms a large number of complex compounds. (iii) Transition metals or their compounds are coloured and is mainly due to: (a) d-d transitions (b) charge transfer spectra (c) polarisation |
