Some transition metals are iron, copper, and zinc. Copper is used for electrical wiring. Zinc is used to galvanize cast iron or steel to prevent corrosion. Cast iron is used in things like man hole covers becaue it is strong.

Some metals like copper are used in electrical wiring. Zinc can be used as a protective coating for other metals. Iron is used to make steel. Many are foid in alloys and used to make items such as jet engins, drill bits, surgical instruments, and armor.

Copper wire
Protective coating (zinc)
Iron is used to make steel
Alloys are used to make items like jet engines and drill bits
Affect the rates of a reaction in the body
Cobalt is needed for the development of red blood cells
