Transition metals form alloys with other transition metals. Explain.

Explanation

Transition metals form a large variety of alloys. This is due to the fact that transition metals have almost similar sizes and therefore, the atoms of one metal can easily substitute the atoms of other metals in their lattices. When we cool the mixture solution of two or more transition metals, solid alloys are generally formed. For example, manganese dissolves in molten iron to form manganese steel. The alloys formed are hard, having high melting points. These are also resistant to corrosion in comparison to the parent metals. Tungsten is also used for preparing stainless steel.
