The physical properties of transition metals are determined by their electron configurations. Most transition metals are hard solids with relatively high melting and boiling p â¦ oints. Differences in properties among transition metals are based on the ability of unpaired d electrons to move into the valence level. The more unpaired electrons in the d sublevel, the greater the hardness and the higher the melting and boiling points. 5 people found this useful. Chrishan Silva.
The Shaken Cocktail. More approachable to the novice bartender, shaking is much more popular in most establishments than stirring. While many cocktails should be stirred, there are definitely times when shaking is the way to go. The act of shaking results in much faster chilling than stirring. This is secondary to breaking up the ice and increased speed of mixing, which increases the surface area interacting with the liquid molecules.
1 Chill your cocktail glass (the easiest way is to fill it with ice) 2  Put plenty of ice and all of the ingredients into your shaker or stirring glass and shake or stir vigorously for about 20 seconds. 3  Strain the mix into a cocktail glass.  Cut a piece of orange peel about the size of your thumb (be careful not to bend it).
