===About Transition Metals===
: [[Transition Metal]]s have the [[Physical Property|physical properties]] of [[metal]]s.
: [[Transition Metal]]s [[Chemical Bond|bond]] together with [[Metallic Bond|metallic bonds]] in which [[Positive Ion|positive ions]] are surrounded by a sea of [[Negative Charge|negatively charged]] [[electron]]s (known as [[Delocalised Electrons|delocalised electrons]].

====Melting Point====
: [[Transition Metal]]s usually have high [[Melting Point|melting points]]because [[Metallic Bond|metallic bonds]] are very strong, keeping the [[atom]]s [[Vibration|vibrating]] in fixed positions.

====Reactivity|Reactivity====: The [[Transition Metal]]s are much less [[Reactivity|reactive]] than [[element]]s in [[Group 1|group 1]] and [[Group 2|group 2]].: Most of the [[Transition Metal]]s [[Chemical Reaction|react]] slowly with [[Oxygen]], [[Water]] and the [[Halogen]]s at [[Room Temperature|room temperature]] and some will not [[Chemical Reaction|react]] at all.: For [[combustion]] to occur the [[Transition Metal]]s must be heated to very high [[temperature]]s. However, some [[Transition Metal]]s will not [[combustion|combust]] at all.
