Question
Account for the following:
Transition metals form alloys.
Solution
Transition metals have very similar atomic sizes as a result one metal can easily replace the other metal from its lattice to form solid solution (alloy). Transition metals are also miscible with one another in the molten state. Thus, the molten state solution of two or more transition metals on cooling forms an alloy.
