Electrical conductivity, $σ$, thermo-e.m.f., $S$, and viscosity, $η$, measurements were performed for liquid Te with an admixtures of $3d$ transition metals in a wide temperature range under ambient pressures of argon gas. It was shown that the Ti, V, Cr, Mn admixtures decrease $σ$ and slightly increase $S$, while Fe, Co, Ni, Cu increase $σ$ and decrease $S$. All the transition metal additions increase viscosity. It is suggested that $3d$ metals with a complicated outer electron configuration lead to bond stabilization during melting and complex atomic cluster formation The obtained $σ(T)$ and $S(T)$ data are interpreted in the frame of the electron scattering mechanism on the virtual bound states.
