Transition element

The video tutorial covers transition elements in the periodic table, highlighting examples such as iron, nickel, and gold. It discusses their properties, including lower reactivity compared to group one and two metals, high melting points, and the formation of colored compounds. The video also explores copper compounds, noting their distinctive blue-green color, as seen in the Statue of Liberty's coating.
