“Transition Elements (Transition Metals)”  

Transition Element Atoms

  In elemental science, a Transition Element Atom is an element with a metal atom that has an incomplete d sub-shell, or which can give rise to cations with an incomplete d sub-shell.

Transition Elements (Transition Metals)

  In chemistry, the term Transition Elements (Transition Metals) are the elements with partially filled d orbitals, constituting groups 3-12 of the periodic table of elements, and may have at least two meanings, referring mostly to any element in the d-block of the periodic table, with more extended and more restricted definitions also being valid.
  The transition element atoms include:
  • rare earth metal atom
  • d-block element atom
  • f-block element atom
  • platinum group metal atoms
  • chromium group element atoms
  • cobalt group element atoms
  • copper group element atoms
  • iron group element atoms
  • manganese group element atoms
  • nickel group element atoms
  • scandium group element atoms
  • titanium group element atoms
  • vanadium group element atoms
Examples of some individual transition elements (transition metals) include:

“Copper (Cu)”  [Atomic Number: 29] 
Copper Cu

Copper

  In elemental science, Copper (Cu), transition element (transition metal), is an essential trace element and with an atomic weight of 63.55 may be considered a heavy metal
[80029]
“Rhenium (Re)”  
Rhenium Re

Rhenium

  In chemistry, Rhenium (Re) is a naturally occurring silvery-white heavy metal transition element (transition metal), and about the 77th most abundant element in Earth's crust.
In elemental science, rhenium (Re), is a d-block element, located at the group 7 (aka manganese group), period 6 of the periodic table of elements.
  Examples of rhenium (Re) include: **

“Vanadium (V)”  [Atomic Number: 23] 
Vanadium V

Vanadium

  In chemistry, Vanadium (V) is a heavy metal ductile transition element (transition metal) with an atomic weight 50.94.
In elemental science, vanadium (V), is a d-block element, located at the group 5 (aka vanadium group), period 4 of the periodic table of elements.

Vanadium Biochemically

  In the body, Vanadium (V) is an essential trace mineral element vital to the proper function of several body systems, and is involved in a variety of biological processes, including hematopoiesis, the maintenance of blood pressure, growth promotion, the maintenance of cholesterol levels, and the stimulation of receptors and other enzymes that phosphorylate insulin and regulate its biological activity.
  In our diet, Vanadium (V) is most often found in seafood. **
[80023]
“Chromium (Cr)”  [Atomic Number: 24] 
Chromium Cr

Chromium

  Chromium (Cr), transition element (transition metal), is a odorless, tasteless, and malleable heavy metal element with an atomic weight of 52.

Chromium Biochemically

  In our body, Chromium (Cr) makes up only about 6 mg. of the body's weight, and the blood level of chromium is approximately 20 ppb (parts per billion). Trivalent chromium (Cr3+) in trace amounts influences sugar (glucose metabolism) and lipid metabolism. **
[80024]
“Zirconium (Zr)”  [Atomic Number: 40] 
Zirconium Zr

Zirconium

  In elemental science, Zirconium (Zr) is a lustrous, grey-white, strong transition element (transition metal) and considered a heavy metal.

Zirconium Biochemically

  Into our body, currently zirconium (Zr) is not known to have any body physiological function or toxicity. **

Tantalum Biochemically

  Into our body, tantalum (Ta) is highly biocompatible metal used for body implants. **
[80073]
“Molybdenum (Mo)”  [Atomic Number: 42] 
Molybdenum Mo

Molybdenum

  In elemental science, Molybdenum (Mo), transition element (transition metal), is an essential trace heavy metal required in nitrogen metabolism.
  The essential element Molybdenum (Mo) is a Group 6 element and a transition metal.

Molybdenum Biochemically

  The molybdenum (Mo) atom is essential for nearly all organisms, and occurs in more than 40 enzymes, catalysing diverse redox reactions. **
