Transition Metals: Located in Groups 3 to 12 of the periodic table. As with all metals, the transition elements are ductile, malleable, and conduct electricity and heat. These elements are very hard, with high melting points and boiling points. Transition elements may have multiple stable oxidation states which allow them to form many different ionic compounds.
