Background Information
Transitional elements are located in groups 3-12 on the periodic table (the d-block).
The 38 elements were discovered between the years of 1879 (Scandium) and 1996 (Unuoblum) The interesting thing about transition metals is that their valence electrons, that are used to combine with other elements are present in more than one shell.
The name transition comes from their position in the table—they form a transition between the main group elements, which occur in groups 1 and 2 on the left side, and groups 13–18 on the right.

Physical Properties Continued
Most transition metal compounds are highly colored, the color of transition metals arises from a split in the energies of the d orbital's caused by coordinated molecules.
One property of transition metals is the formation of highly colored ions in solution, which leads us to our chemical properties. . . .

Chemical Properties Continued
Transition metals have a tendency to form complexes (coordination compounds) this is due to their partially filled d sub-shell accepting donated electron pairs from other ions or molecules.
A complex ion is an ion containing a central atom or ion to which other atoms, ions or molecules are bonded. The atoms, ions or molecules are bonded to it with dative covalent bonds.

Chemical Properties Continued A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction, but is
not consumed by the reaction; hence a catalyst can be recovered chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction it has been used to speed up, or catalyze.
Transition metals and their compounds function as catalysts either because of their ability to change oxidation state or, in the case of the metals, to adsorb other substances on to their surface and activate them in the process.
Example: Formation of ammonia from nitrogen
and hydrogen using iron as the catalyst.
Fe
N2(g) + 3H2(g)--->2NH3(g)

Atomic Trends of Transition Metals
The transition metals, groups 3–12 in the periodic table, are generally characterized by partially filled d sub-shells in the free elements or their cations.
Unlike the s-block and p-block elements, the transition metals exhibit significant horizontal similarities in chemistry in addition to their vertical similarities.

Atomic Trends Continued
Transition metals have high melting/boiling points due to strong metallic bonds. Therefore, the more unpaired electrons are present, the higher the melting/boiling point will be, the first 4 elements in a row always have the highest points, as the unpaired d orbital electrons pair up, it decreases. The last 5 elements in a row have a lower melting/boiling points.

Atomic Trends Continued
Ionization energy is how much energy is
required to move one electron from an
element to the outer shell. Ionization
energy increases from left to right and
from bottom to top due to the number of
valence electrons increasing from left to
right on periodic table.

Atomic Trends Continued
The atomic radius decreases from left to right due to protons being added to the nucleus. The concentration of more protons in the nucleus creates a "higher effective nuclear charge." In other words, there is a stronger force of attraction pulling the electrons closer to the nucleus resulting in a smaller atomic radius. The atomic radius increases from top to bottom due to the increase of electrons.

Atomic Trends Continued
Metallic characteristics decrease from left to right across a period, this is caused by the decrease in radius. Metallic characteristics increase down a group, due to electron shielding which causes the atomic radius to increase thus the outer electrons ionizes more readily than electrons in smaller atoms.

Atomic Trends Continued
Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to pull electrons to itself and increases from left to rightand bottom to top. If electrons are being shared equally between atoms, the bonds will be polar, if not they will be non-polar.

before ? Most likely not, however it is a big part
of something which we all enjoy everyday.

Tungsten, also known as wolfram, is a chemical element with symbol W and atomic number 74. The word tungsten comes from the Swedish language tung sten directly translatable to heavy stone.
W has melting point of 3,422 degree C.
Tungsten has the highest melting point of all the elements, making it ideal for use in a light bulb.

Halogen light bulbs are a newer improved, more efficient/green light source, by adding the element Tungsten the product of the light blub was enhanced.
The light is produced by a piece of tungsten metal or filament, which shines brightly when an electrical current is passed through it. This process is called incandescence and is due to electrons becoming excited and moving through the tungsten, releasing energy as heat and light.

Further benefits of the halogen light bulb:
reduces eye strain (due to the bright light),
