Hard, thoughm stong, maleable, ductile, good conductor of heat and electricity and with high density and melting point.
Much less reactive.
They don't corrode readily in the atmosphere
Moat of them form colored compunds and complex ions
They can form one compound with another element
Hard, strong transition elements for construction
Many of them for making alloys and act as catalysts
As conductors of heat and electricity
