Now actinoids and lanthanoids are considered as transition metals.
The bottom two rows of Lanthanide & Actinide is the transition metals
Yes, lanthanide and Actinides are transition elements and they are specifically called inner transition elements.
no they are not. actinide is not part of the transition metals.
Plutonium is an actinide
The 4 corners of the block are Sc, Zn, Cn and the icon for the actinide series, to the left of Rf. This is also known as the transition metals
No uranium is an actinide and is very hard especially depleted uranium
Actinides are all soft and silver in color (but not when exposed to air). They are dense and malleable. Most actinides have the same properties as the d-block.
Most scientists regard metals in one of three groups Alkali, alkaline earth metals, and transition metals. The transition metals are further divided into lanthanides and actinides groups on the periodic table. One could also consider metals divided by ferrous and non-ferrous. This generally speaks of iron carrying metals and magnetic properties versus non-iron and nonmagnetic.
The actinide series
transition metals
Most scientists describe a "transition metal" as any element in the d-block of the periodic table, which includes groups 3 to 12 on the periodic table. The f-block 'lanthanide and actinide' series are also considered transition metals and are called "inner transition metals".
