The Lanthanides and the Actinides.
The elements that are placed outside of the periodic table are called transactinides. These elements are usually placed in a separate row below the main table and are synthetic elements that do not occur naturally on Earth.

See the periodic table at the link below.
This is so, because these rows separate f-block of the elements from other blocks.
Transition elements are the D block on the periodic table. They are between Magnesium and Aluminum and below.

The elements that are placed outside of the periodic table are called transactinides. These elements are usually placed in a separate row below the main table and are synthetic elements that do not occur naturally on Earth.
The Periodic Table has 7 periods (horizontal rows) and 18 groups. The two groups of 14 elements at the bottom (lanthanides and actinides) are parts of the 6th and 7th periods, between groups 2 and 3, but are placed below to limit the displayed width of the table.
by their atomic number
The periodic table contain all chemical elements. For the table see the link below.
See the periodic table at the link below.
As of January 27, 2008, there are 117 elements, and all of which can be found on the Periodic Table of Elements. See the link below for the Periodic Table of elements.
The elements are lined up in rows (horizontically, called periods 1 to 7) and in colums (vertically, called groups, 1 to 8 or 1 to 18).All elements in the same group react in similar ways. All elements in one period have nothing in common.Take a view to the periodic table via 'Related Links' just below this answer.
F-block elements The first row is called lanthanides The second row is called actinides
There are far to many elements following the 6th on in the Periodic Table. Included below is a link to a very nice Periodic table.
