How can you say that it is a transition element? We will discuss the properties of elements of first transition series only in the following sections. . . Physical Properties Nearly all the transition elements display typical metallic properties such as high tensile strength, ductility, malleability, high thermal and electrical conductivity and metallic lustre. With the exceptions of Zn, Cd, Hg and Mn, they have one or more typical metallic structures at normal temperatures.
