The transition metals generally form coloured compounds due to :

1.	Absorption of radiation to promote an electron .
2.	Presence of ligands, the d-orbitals split up into two sets of orbitals.
3.	Energy required to promote an electron in d subshell is low.
4.	All of the above.

Transition metals and their many compounds act as good catalysts due to :

Match the List I with List II:

The correct statement(s) about transition elements are:
