The transition metals are very much hard and have low volatility. Their melting and boiling points are high. The high melting points of the 3 d, 4 d and 5 d-transition metals are attributed to the involvement of greater number of electrons from (n-1) d in addition to the n s electrons in the interatomic metallic bonding.
