Photonics Dictionary

transition metal: Transition metals are elements found in the d-block of the periodic table, which includes groups 3 to 12. They are characterized by their partially filled d orbitals in the electron configuration. Transition metals exhibit a wide range of properties, including high melting and boiling points, variable oxidation states, and the ability to form complex ions and compounds. They are typically good conductors of electricity and are often used in alloys, catalysts, and industrial applications due to their versatile chemical and physical properties. Examples of transition metals include iron, copper, nickel, and gold.
