1multiple correct

Which of the following properties are characteristic of transition metals? (Select all correct answers)

Show answer

High melting points, Colored compounds, Catalytic activity

Transition metals have high melting points due to metallic bonding, form colored compounds due to d-d transitions, and show catalytic activity due to variable oxidation states. They are good electrical conductors.

2multiple choice

In the extraction of iron from hematite ore, limestone acts as:

Show answer

Flux

Limestone (CaCO₃) decomposes to CaO which combines with silica gangue to form calcium silicate slag, thus acting as flux to remove impurities.
