       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 good conductors of heat and 
       electricity. Their valence electrons are present in more than one 
       shell. This is why they often exhibit several common oxidation 
       states. They also have high melting points, boiling points, and 
       densities.
