    Question

    Which among the following is not a characteristic of

    transition metals?
    A Tendency to gain electrons Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Low electro negativity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Low ionization energy Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Malleability Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The transition metals have a tendency to lose electrons. Since the electrons in the highest energy level are actually on a lower principal energy number than the ones before them, this makes it relatively easy to lose some or all of their electrons to land in stable state.
