Where find can I everything about late transition metals?

Question

I was assigned as a reporter in school to expound on the late transition metals of the periodic table. I couldn't find anything so I was hoping someone can help me. So Where find (a website) everything about late transition metals???

Answer 1

Well, obviously no single web site will tell you "everything".  What kind of information are looking for?  If you just want boring stuff like elemental physical and chemical properties and a list of a few compounds, WebElements is a great resource, and there is a bit of information about things like industrial uses and biological roles.

If you want real information, interesting facts, history, engaging stories, and the kind of thing that would actually make it interesting, you might actually need to leave your house.  Sorry.  Go to your closest university library and dig through some books on descriptive inorganic chemistry -- there's a good one by Geoff Rayner-Canham, there will lots of others near it on the shelf.
