chemistry-transition elements

?
where are these found on the periodic table
between groups 2 and 3
1 of 7
what other name is given to them and why
transition metals because they are all metals
2 of 7
what are the differences of these compared to alkali metals
they have much higher melting points and densities. They are also stronger and harder BUT are much less reactive (EXCEPT FOR MERCURY)
3 of 7
TRUE OR FALSE: they DO react vigorously with oxygen or water
FALSE; they DONT react vigorously with oxygen or water
4 of 7
TRUE OR FALSE: their compounds are often brightly coloured
true
5 of 7
TRUE OR FALSE: they are used for building materials, often as alloys
true
6 of 7
TRUE OR FALSE: many of them and their compounds are NOT catalysts for chemical reactions
FALSE; many of them and their compounds ARE catalysts for chemical reactions
