All the transition state metals can be found in the clearly marked central portion of the Periodic Table of elements, but I will tell you that most of the well-known metals, such as iron, copper, gold, lead, zinc, nickel, chromium, platinum, etc., are transition state elements. The only really well known metal that is not a transition state element is aluminum. Other metals such as calcium or sodium are also not transition state elements, but they are not often encountered in their metallic form, they are encountered in compounds such as salt. Metals that we encounter in metallic form are almost always transition state elements.

∙ 9y agoTransition elements can be excellent conductors and beautiful metals. Copper is one of the most important metals used for electric cables. Platinum and gold are precious metals. Platinum is also used in catalytic converters that make automotive exhaust cleaner. Gold is form of reserve wealth, money, jewelry, and also has industrial applications as a Noble Metal.

Are transition elements metals?
yes they are metals
Are Lanthanide and actinide elements are transition metals?
Yes, lanthanide and Actinides are transition elements and they are specifically called inner transition elements.
Is zinc a base metal?
Yes. It is a metal. In periodic table all the elements in s block (except hydrogen), d block and f block elements are classified as metals. And if you precisely ask if it is a base metal, you have to mention the alloy name. i
What is the Difference between noble and precious metals?
Noble metals and precious metals can be the same thing. Noble metals are known for their usefulness in the industrial fields. They resist corrosion and oxidation. Precious metals fit this description, but are also aesthetically appealing and desirable, giving them value outside the manufacturing realm.
