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).

What is the first column on the left of the periodic table is called?
alkali metals / s block elements
Why F-block are called lanthanides and actinides?
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.
Where are the transition elements and the d block located?
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.
What is the first block on the periodic table called?
The first block on the periodic table is called the S block.
Is f and d the center and bottom blocks of the periodic table?
D block elements are at the center of the periodic table; f block elements are at the bottom.
