why transition element are called transition?
Hello aspirant,
The transition elements are called transition elements because the d-block elements exhibit transitional behaviour between s-block and p-block elements. Their properties are transitional between the elements of p-block which are covalent in nature and highly reactive metallic elements of s-block which are ionic in nature.
Hope, this answer helps you.
