How are transition elements different from other elements in s and p blocks on periodic table?

It's a transition where an electron jumps from one d orbital to another. Normally these are degenerate (the d orbitals have the same energy), but under some conditions, such as the presense of ligands, the degeneracy can be removed so that there is a specific energy (and therefore wavelength) associated with these transitions.
These sorts of transitions sometimes have energies located in the visible band, and it's one reason transition metal ions (and complex ions in particular) tend to be highly colored.

∙ 10y ago- Transition metals have higher melting and boiling points. This is because transition metals have 3d and 4s electrons which are close in energy level and are available for delocalisation, hence forming stronger metallic bonds which require more heat energy to overcome.
- Transition metals have higher electrical conductivity. As mentioned above, more delocalised electrons can increase the number of mobile charge carriers.
- Transition metals have higher densities. This is because they have smaller atomic sizes and larger atomic masses, thus having more atoms packed per unit volume.

∙ 9y agod block elements, transition metals, transition elements are synonyms.
The definition of d block after the IUPAC recommendation is "an element whose atom has a partially filled d sub-shell, or which can give rise to cations with an incomplete dsub-shell".

∙ 9y agoThese elements have electrons in their "d" orbitals, according to Crystal Field Theory when such elements form the coordination compounds their"d" orbitals becomes split into two groups with respect to energy and TRANSITION of electrons takes place between these two groups which is also responsible for the appearance of colors in transition metal complexes.

What main blocks of elements is Cr in?
the main blocks of element Cr in is d-block orbital in the periodic table because element Cr is a transition element.
Is elements in the s and p blocks of the periodic table called transition metals?
No the p block of elements does not contain transition metals. The lowest energy level to allow d orbitals is not the fourth energy level.
How are elements and compounds alike and different?
The only similarity elements and compounds share are that they're the building blocks of matter. Their differences are that elements are are made of only one type of periodic element. Compounds are made of at least two periodic elements bonded together. For example, salt is a compound of sodium-chloride and the helium in balloons is made up entirely of helium molecules.
Are in the s and p blocks of periodic table?
s-block elements: groups 1 and 2 p-block elements: groups 13 to 18
Why is mercury blue on the periodic table?
Mercury (Hg) is blue on the periodic table because mercury is liquid by itself at room temperature. The only other element on the periodic table that is liquid by itself at room temperature is bromine, but mercury is the only metal liquid at room temperature. This is also one reason why mercury is used in some thermometers.The above may be true of some versions if the periodic table, where the colour, according to the state of matter, under normal conditions. Some versions show all the transition metals as blue, mercury in group 12 is often considered to be a transition metal. The colours used to identify blocks or elements on periodic tables are not standardised around the world.
What groups represent the transition element?
Group nine to eighteen (B-Families) of 'd' and 'f' blocks of periodic table are transition elements.
What main blocks of elements is Cr in?
the main blocks of element Cr in is d-block orbital in the periodic table because element Cr is a transition element.
Is elements in the s and p blocks of the periodic table called transition metals?
No the p block of elements does not contain transition metals. The lowest energy level to allow d orbitals is not the fourth energy level.
Has hydrogen got oxygen in it?
No. They are two different elements. They are not compounds, which are made up of elements Look at a periodic table. Those are your most basic building blocks as a beginner chemist.
Is f and d the center and bottom blocks of the periodic table?
D block elements are at the center of the periodic table; f block elements are at the bottom.
What are the individual blocks in the periodic table?
The individual blocks are the individual elements, ie: Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium etc etc.
Why are there two rows of elements below the periodic table?
This is so, because these rows separate f-block of the elements from other blocks.
How many groups are represented by each what blocks on the periodic table?
There are total 18 groups in the periodic table that contains elements having same properties.
Elements on the periodic table are basic building materials of all?
Direct quote from my textbook: "Elements are the chemical building blocks of matter."MATTER
How are different elements like letters of the alphabet?
Letters are the building blocks of words, and elements are the building blocks of all matter.
What is the difference between transitoin element and p and s blocks in a periodic table?
Transition metals form ions with incomplete d orbitals.
How are elements and compounds alike and different?
