    What compound would you make if you melted all transition metals into 1?

    For example melting every element in the transition metals into one big bowl of molten metal, what would be the end result?
    Is it possible?
    Has it been done?

    Don't try ever Buddy !!!
    the transition elements are both ductile and malleable, and conduct electricity and heat. The interesting thing about transition metals is that their valence electrons, or the electrons they use to combine with other elements, are present in more than one shell. All The 38 elements often exhibit several common oxidation states. Yeah but, There are three noteworthy elements in the transition metals family. These elements are iron, cobalt, and nickel, and they are the only elements known to produce a magnetic field.

    Well, pure metals don't generally react with each other, so rather than a compound you would just end up with a really weird alloy. It's probably possible, although it wouldn't be practical because some metals have very high melting points. I doubt it's been done-- there's not any particularly useful reason to do so.

    Of course it's possible but new compounds won't be formed. The different elements would retain their individual properties in the huge amount of Alloy thus formed.
