The inner transition metals are a section that has been pulled out of the Periodic Table. These elements are called Lanthanides (La) & Actinides (Ac).

Lanthanides: Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb & Lu

Actinides: Th, Pa, U, Np, Pu, Am, Cm, Bk, Cf, Es, Fm, Md, No, Pu, and Lr.

The difference between transition metals and inner transition metals include its different positions in the periodic table. The transition metals fill the d-orbitals, while inner transition metals fill the f-orbitals.

Transition elements are d-block elements. In other words, the valence electrons are contained in the d-subshell. D shells are capable of containing a maximum of 10 valence electrons.

Inner transition elements are f-block elements. You can split the inner transition elements into two groups - lanthanides and actinides. Lanathnides have their valence electrons concetrated in the 4f subshell while actinides have their valence electrons concentrated in the 5f subshell. F-subshells are capable of containing a maximum of 14 valence electrons, but f-subshells are less stable than d-subshells. So transition elements are capable of forming a more stable bond with with neutral molecules than inner transition elements.

The 3d,4d,5f and 6f elements. This is from Scandium (Sc) to Zinc (Zn) and columns down to Thorium (Th) to Lawrecium (Lr).

Inner Transitional metals are in the Lanthanide and Actinide sections of the periodic table. These metals consist of elements who have valence electrons in the F orbital.

The Lanthanides and Actinides make up the inner transition metals. The atomic numbers are 57 to 71 and 89 to 103. They are in the f- block of the Periodic table.
