Answer:

A. They don't form compounds

Step-by-step explanation:

  • High density: The strong bonding between the atoms in transition metals cause them to be tightly held together, creating a high density. Colored compounds: Transition metals tend to form more colored compounds than other elements, either in solid form or dissolved in a solvent.
