1. Transition metals have high melting and boiling points. They also have high enthalpies of atomization and tend to be inert in their chemical reactions. 2. Transition metals show a variety of oxidation states. For example, Cr3+ is more stable than Cr2+, and Cu2+ is more stable in solution than Cu+. 3. The E0 values, which indicate oxidation potential, vary across the transition metals and their ions. For instance, the E0 value for Mn3+/Mn2+ is more positive than for Cr3+/Cr2+ or Fe3+/Fe2+.
