Title: Why do transition metals show a lot of chemical similarities within a given period? Post by: Brah_ on Mar 21, 2021 Why do transition metals show a lot of chemical similarities within a given period? ▸ The valence s and p electrons affect their chemistry more so than the inner d and f electrons, which do not participate in bonding as easily. ▸ The number of electrons within a given period varies only slightly and is sometimes identical because these metals have more than one ionic form. ▸ All elements in a given period, including the representative elements, have a lot of chemical similarities due to the gradual increase in atomic number. ▸ The transition metals always fill their s and p orbitals first before filling their d orbitals, which affects their chemistry. ▸ None of these are correct.
