A representative element is an element that can naturally reproduce its self (make more of its self) in a relatively short amount of time. A transition element is an element that can not reproduce its self in a short amount of time but takes thousands of years.

Why lanthenides are called inner transition elements?
Lanthanide: The first series of inner transitionelements which goes from cerium to lutetium.
What are some transition and representative elements?
Transition metals: Cr, Fe, Ni, Co, Mn etc.Representative elements: group 1,2, 13 to 18.
What are elements in groups 3-12 known as?
Transition Metals! ^-^ http://chemistry.about.com/library/blperiodictable.htm
What is the section on the periodic table composed of eight groups including metals metalloid's and nonmetal's?
representative elements
What elements are transition elements Pd Sr Br Co?
Pd , Co are transition elements.
Are 3-12 elements on the periodic table of elements representative elements?
Yes. All elements from 1-20 are representative elements as they belong to a representative group (i.e. they aren't a transition metal).
What are representative elemets?
The elements in the first two groups and in the last 6 groups. Basically all the elements except the inner transition and transition elements.
Why lanthenides are called inner transition elements?
Lanthanide: The first series of inner transitionelements which goes from cerium to lutetium.
Which elements on the periodic table are not representataive elements?
Any of the elements from the transition metals aren't representative elements as they don't belong to a representative element group (i.e. Group 0-7).
What are some transition and representative elements?
Transition metals: Cr, Fe, Ni, Co, Mn etc.Representative elements: group 1,2, 13 to 18.
Why are the main block elements also called the representative elements?
The representative elements are in the groups 1,2, 13-18; the name is given to make a difference toward transition metals.
What elements are not transition elements?
So-called NON-transition metals is not a defined group of elements, other than "All other elements that are NOT transition elements".
Elements in the d block are also known as?
These elements are called "main group elements".
What type of elements include metals metalloids and nonmetals CATAlyst or representative or transition?
catalyst
Is barium a transition element or a representative element?
Bromine is part of the representative elements
What is the difference between the representative elements and the transition elements?
The elements in group 1 and 2 are the representative elements. Groups 3 through 12 are the transition elements. Transition elements are all metals and are found less noticably than they do across a period of representative elements. representative elements are always found in nature combined with other elements, they are all metals except for hydrogen.
Why are group A elements called Representative elements?
They follow a pattern for valence electrons.
