The color of the specific salt is due to the electronic structure in the d-orbitals of transition elements or in the conjugated organic dye framework.

The period shares this trait with periods 1 and 3, none of which contain transition elements or inner transition elements, which often vary from the rule.

Each triangle has a transition element attached to it belonging to the group of exactly one vertex; and the tetrahedra, if there are any, give cocycle relations for the transition elements.

He has pioneered a molecular approach to heterogeneous catalysis, based on transition elements taken as probes, specific isotopes and physical techniques, which provided him with an original position in the field.

In order to investigate the range and stability of the oxidation states of actinide and other transition elements in fused salt solutions, he pioneered the field of absorption spectroscopy in high-temperature liquids.

For example, the atomic radius of the metal zirconium, Zr, ( a period-5 transition element ) is 159 pm and that of hafnium, Hf, ( the corresponding period-6 element ) is 156 pm.

This is particularly true of the transition elements, where quoted electronegativity values are usually, of necessity, averages over several different oxidation states and where trends in electronegativity are harder to see as a result.

Thus the main difference in oxidation states, between transition elements and other elements is that oxidation states are known in which there is a single atom of the element and one or more unpaired electrons.
