  2. Transition metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_metal

    As implied by the name, all transition metals are metals and thus conductors of electricity. In general, transition metals possess a high density and high melting points and boiling points. These properties are due to metallic bonding by delocalized d electrons, leading to cohesion which increases with the number of shared electrons. However ...

  3. Names for sets of chemical elements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_for_sets_of_chemical...

    Non-ferrous metals - Metals or alloys that do not contain iron in appreciable amounts. Platinum group – Ru, Rh, Pd, Os, Ir, Pt. Post-transition metals – The metals coming after the transition metals. Many other names have been used for this set, and its borders are not agreed on.

  4. Wikipedia : Naming conventions (chemistry)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming...

    Individual, well-established "metallicity" categories, e.g. transition metal, post-transition metal, metalloid, rare earth metals etc., can be referred to without "all elements all once" colouring. When a specific categorisation scheme is relevant (e.g. {{ChemicalBondsToCarbon}}), a periodic table-filling categorisation can be applied.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemistry_mnemonics

    A mnemonic is a memory aid used to improve long-term memory and make the process of consolidation easier. Many chemistry aspects, rules, names of compounds, sequences of elements, their reactivity, etc., can be easily and efficiently memorized with the help of mnemonics.

  7. Post-transition metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-transition_metal

    The metallic elements in the periodic table located between the transition metals to their left and the chemically weak nonmetallic metalloids to their right have received many names in the literature, such as post-transition metals, poor metals, other metals, p-block metals, basic metals, and chemically weak metals.

  8. Platinum group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platinum_group

    The platinum-group metals [a] (PGMs) are six noble, precious metallic elements clustered together in the periodic table. These elements are all transition metals in the d-block (groups 8, 9, and 10, periods 5 and 6). [1] The six platinum-group metals are ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum.
