Melting points
Transition elements generally are metals
and they have relatively high melting and
boiling points
...



As the proton No
...

The inner electrons are between the nucleus and 4s
subshell and are able to shield the outer electrons
from the increasing nuclear force, therefore
cancelling the effect of the increasing nuclear
force across a period
...
This is because:

The atomic radii remain almost constant
from Ti to Cu
(b) The attractive forces on the outer
electrons remain almost constant from Ti
to Cu
...

 This is because the five inner d orbitals are at a
similar energy level to the outer s orbital
...
Ionic bonds form
when 4s and then 3d electrons are lost to produce
positively charged ions
...

 The table below shows the main oxidation states
(bold being the most important) and the electronic
structures of the elements titanium to copper

...


Variable Oxidation States in Compounds
The +2 oxidation state is generally due to the
loss of two 4s electrons from the outer shell to
form and M2+ ion
...

 For example, the maximum oxidation state of
Chromium VI is due to the use of all the 3d5 and
4s1 electrons for bonding
