Question

__________IS THE MOST iMPORTANT OF THE TRANSITION ELEMENTS


WHAT IS THE WORD???

Answer 1

It has to be iron. Without Fe, there'd be no steel, and no civilization as we know it. You COULD make steel-like alloys with elements like Ni, but they'd be too costly for widespread use.

Answer 2

The 38 elements in groups 3 through 12 of the periodic table are called "transition metals". As with all metals, the transition elements are both ductile and malleable, and conduct electricity and heat. The interesting thing about transition metals is that their valence electrons, or the electrons they use to combine with other elements, are present in more than one shell. This is the reason why they often exhibit several common oxidation states. There are three noteworthy elements in the transition metals family. These elements are iron, cobalt, and nickel, and they are the only elements known to produce a magnetic field.

The Transition Metals are:


Scandium
Titanium
Vanadium
Chromium
Manganese
Iron
Cobalt
Nickel
Copper
Zinc
Yttrium
Zirconium
Niobium
Molybdenum
Technetium
Ruthenium
Rhodium
Palladium
Silver
Cadmium
Hafnium
Tantalum
Tungsten
Rhenium
Osmium
Iridium
Platinum
Gold
Mercury
Rutherfordium
Dubnium
Seaborgium
Bohrium
Hassium
Meitnerium
Ununnilium
Unununium
Ununbium


Ur answer has to be on of these three: iron, cobalt, and nickel

Answer 3

Iron (Fe) is the most important of the transition elements. Although copper, silver, and gold are precious metals and have vital importance in electricity (and copper as a trace element,) Iron is by far the most common and most used transition element on earth. The properties of ferrous materials (containing iron) are mostly different from those of nonferrous materials, leading to their classification in these terms. Iron is the major component of steel, the chief of industrial materials. Also, iron forms an essential part of the hemoglobin molecule which transfers oxygen through your bloodstream. Without iron you could not live more than a few hours, so you are indeed fortunate to have it available!

Answer 4

What is your science teacher smoking, and where can I get some?

You can't say that any transition element is more important than the others! Iron is critical to building cars and stuff, copper is in the wiring of almost everything electrical, silver and gold are self-explanatory etc. Fight back against the stupidification of the American educational system by informing whoever gave you this question that they are a total moron!

Answer 5

Well it helps you write sentences that make sense, unlike the one you've just written.

Answer 6

I think it's iron.
