KnowraTransition metalLinked fromLinked fromThe 48 pages that link to Transition metal, each with the reason it gives.All 48Broader topic 8Related 7Narrower topic 26Compared with 7Valence electronBroader topic: Transition metals show why valence-electron assignments can extend beyond the outermost shell.Periodic trendsBroader topic: Partly filled d subshells create irregularities that make their trends less uniform than those of main-group elements.d-blockBroader topic: Many d-block elements meet this stricter definition, though the terms are not identical.Periodic table blocksBroader topic: Transition metals occupy the d block and often show variable oxidation states.Valence shellBroader topic: Their bonding and properties involve valence orbitals that do not fit the simplest octet picture.Period 5 elementBroader topic: Most of period 5 lies in the d-block, but the row also includes other element types.Period 4 elementBroader topic: Most of Period 4 consists of transition metals with varied oxidation states.Hund's rule of maximum multiplicityBroader topic: Partially filled d subshells make Hund-style occupancy relevant to transition-metal configurations.
