Why d block elements are called transition elements

1.	Why d block elements are called transition elements
Answer» The position of d-block elements is in between the s-block and p-block elements in the periodic table. These\xa0d-block elements\xa0are\xa0called transition elements\xa0because they exhibit transitional behaviour between s-block and p-block\xa0elements.Their properties are transitional between highly reactive metallic elements of s-block which are typically ionic compounds and the elements of p-block which are largely covalent.
