Group 1 = Alkali Metals
Group 2 = Alkali Earth metals
Between Group 2 And Group 3 are the Transition metals.
Groups 3,4,5,& 6 do not have a name, but are headed by Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen and Oxygen respectively.
Group 7 = Halogens
Group 8 = Noble/Inert gases.
Lower down the Periodic Table between Group 2 and the Transition metals are two Periods(Rows) ; the first are the Lanthanides and the second(lower again) are the Actinides(Radio Active elements).
alkali metals / s block elements
F-block elements are called lanthanides because they follow lanthanum in the periodic table. They are called actinides because they follow actinium in the periodic table.
The transition elements and the d block elements are located in the middle of the periodic table. They are placed in groups 3 to 12, and they include elements from scandium (Sc) to zinc (Zn) in the fourth period and onward. These elements typically have partially filled d orbitals in their electron configurations.
The first block on the periodic table is called the S block.
D block elements are at the center of the periodic table; f block elements are at the bottom.
Transition elements or d block elements.
No, elements in the s and p blocks of the periodic table are not called transition metals. Transition metals are a group of elements located in the d-block of the periodic table. Elements in the s and p blocks have different properties compared to transition metals.
The middle block of elements that don't fit in a specific group in the periodic table is known as the transition metals. These elements typically have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Halogens belong to the nonmetals. It is in the middle top block of the Periodic Table. The other nonmetals are the noble gasses.
alkali metals / s block elements
They are called f-block elements. The first row elements are called lanthanides. The second row elements are called actinides.
The vast majority of elements in the periodic table can be classified as metals. Metals make up the s-block, d-block, and f-block of the periodic table. There are even a few elements in the p-block with metallic properties called metalloids.
Group 7 elements are examples of transition metals (or d-block elements)
F-block elements are called lanthanides because they follow lanthanum in the periodic table. They are called actinides because they follow actinium in the periodic table.
transition metals or d-block elements
The transition elements and the d block elements are located in the middle of the periodic table. They are placed in groups 3 to 12, and they include elements from scandium (Sc) to zinc (Zn) in the fourth period and onward. These elements typically have partially filled d orbitals in their electron configurations.
The first block on the periodic table is called the S block.
