Transition metals make colorful cations. They make compounds with different oxidation numbers.
If I am right, they are known as 'transitional metals'.
D-block elements are also known as the transition metals.
Transitional elements/metals.
Metals are located to the left of the stair-step line on the periodic table.
All the elements in the d block are metals. Elements in the groups 1 and 2 are also metals. The p block contains metals, non metals and metalloids.
Nickel is located in the d-block of the periodic table. Specifically, it is in Group 10 and Period 4.
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.
The majority of the elements in the p-block are non-metals.
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.
These elements are called "main group elements".

There are 17 nonmetals and only 6 metalloids.
