Solution

The position of d-block elements are in between $s -$ block and $p -$ block elements in periodic table. These d-block elements are called transition elements because they exhibit transitional behavior between $s -$ and $p -$ elements.
Their properties are transitional between highly reactive metallic elements of $s -$ block which are typically ionic compounds and elements of $p -$ block which are large - covalent.
