Transition Metal Charges

Choose the statement that defines transition elements correctly.

• A transition element is one that forms cations with a completely filled d-subshell of electrons

• A transition element is one that forms at least one compound with a partially filled d-subshell of electrons

• A transition element is one that can speed up then the rate of chemical reactions in industrial processes

• A transition element is one whose compounds dissolve in water to form aqueous solutions which are colored
