Question 1

Which transition metal is valued for its high electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion, and is widely used for plumbing?

◦ iron
◦ manganese
◦ magnesium
◦ cobalt
◦ copper

Question 2

Why do transition metals show a lot of chemical similarities within a given period?

◦ The valence s and p electrons affect their chemistry more so than the inner d and f electrons, which do not participate in bonding as easily.
◦ The number of electrons within a given period varies only slightly and is sometimes identical because these metals have more than one ionic form.
◦ All elements in a given period, including the representative elements, have a lot of chemical similarities due to the gradual increase in atomic number.
◦ The transition metals always fill their s and p orbitals first before filling their d orbitals, which affects their chemistry.
◦ None of these are correct.
