The transition metals have the following physical properties in common: they are good conductors of heat and electricity. they can be hammered or bent into shape easily. they have high melting points (but mercury is a liquid at room temperature)

Typically the elements of the post-transition metals include any metal in groups 13, 14, and 15 which are aluminum, gallium, indium, tin, thallium, lead, and bismuth….Here is a list of post-transition metals in order of abundance in the Earth’s crust:

• Aluminum.
• Gallium.
• Lead.
• Tin.
• Thallium.
• Indium.
• Bismuth.

General properties of the group Many of the elements are technologically important: titanium, iron, nickel, and copper, for example, are used structurally and in electrical technology. Second, the transition metals form many useful alloys, with one another and with other metallic elements.

However, it might be useful to you to remember that transition metals include:

• Scandium (21) through zinc (30)
• Yttrium (39) through cadmium (48)
• Lanthanum (57) through mercury (80)
• Actinium (89) through copernicium (112)
