However, oxides with transition metals that straddle the subtle boundary ... are governed by how quantum clouds of electrons, the orbitals, move around and interact with each other.

The table shows the melting point and density of iron, compared to three non-transition metals. Iron, a transition metal, has a higher melting point and a higher density than the non-transition ...

Transition metals close transition metalA metal that is located in between group 2 and group 3 (labelled as group 13 on some modern periodic tables) and has brightly coloured compounds.

Recent research in DFT and SIC has focused on transition metals ... those in the outermost "s" orbitals and the more tightly bound "d" orbitals in metals such as chromium, copper, and cobalt.

China plans to add to its strategic reserves of key industrial metals this year, an effort to boost the resilience of critical minerals supply at time when energy-transition demand is increasing ...
