Count electrons in their shells
Shells 1 and 2 are full, 3s as well
4s has two, sometimes just one
It's filled before 3d, so
It's a first row transition metal
3d's incomplete
It is a first row transition metal
3d's incomplete
First there's Scandium
Titanium
V is Vanadium
Cr - Chromium
Then Manganese
Iron, Cobalt
And Nickel, Copper, Zinc
They're the first row transition metals
And that's right - I think
They're the first row transition metals
Yes it's right, I think
The electrons in
The 4s shell
They're lost so easily
All these elements are metals
See how they shine,
And if they're oxidised
There's even more besides:
For a first row transition metal
Has coloured oxides
Yes a first row transition metal
Has colored oxides
