transition metals
These chemical elements are called transition metals.
On the periodic table the elements are called groups.
These elements are known as transition metals or d-block elements
They are called alkali earth metals.
groups or family:))
Groups 1, 2, and 13-18.
you may think i am kidding but the horizontally aligned elements are called periods. The vertical is called groups.
There are eight groups that make up the main group elements. They are groups 1, 2, and 13 - 18. They are also called the representative elements.
Elements in groups 1 and 2 are called alkali and alkaline earth metals, respectively. Elements in groups 13 through 18 are known as the boron group, carbon group, nitrogen group, chalcogens, halogens, and noble gases.
Families of elements with similar chemical properties are called "groups" or "families" on the periodic table. Elements within the same group typically have the same number of valence electrons, which gives them similar reactivity and chemical properties.
The columns of elements on the periodic table are called groups. Each group contains elements with similar chemical properties due to their shared number of electrons in the outermost energy level.
The elements in vertical group are called families because the elements possess same characteristics.
