How many everyday uses of transition metals can you see? alloy – A mixture of a metal and at least one other element. catalyst – A substance that increases the speed of a chemical reaction without being used up. corrosion – Damage to a metal caused by a chemical or reaction such as rusting. density – A measure of mass in a given volume. Often expressed in g/dm3. ductile – The ability of metals to be drawn into wires. lustrous – Bright and shiny. malleable – Capable of being bent and pressed into a different shape. precipitate – A solid that forms in a solution as a result of a physical or chemical reaction. thermal decomposition – The process by which a substance is broken down into two or more products by heating it. transition metal – An element located in the block between groups 2 and 3 of the periodic table.
