11. what are transition metals?
o elements that are in group 18
o elements with characteristics similar to metals, except when exposed to high heat
o elements that are poor conductors of heat and electric current
o elements that fall between those on the left and right sides of the periodic table

elements that fall between those on the left and right sides of the periodic table

Explanation:

The term 'transition metals' emphasises their position in the periodic table. The term shows that they are metals sandwiched between the left and right hand sides of the periodic table. They are found between groups IIA and IIIA. The former are s-block metals while the later are p-block metals. The transition metals all possess d-orbitals which are partially filled.

water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.
