incomplete outer shells
As we look across the periodic table from left to right, we see metals on the left, transition metals through the middle and nonmetals on the right. What we left out was that group of elements between the transition metals and the nonmetals, and these semimetals are called metalloids.Metaloids have properties that are in between those of transition metals and nonmetals, or perhaps properties that are some combination of those of transition metals and nonmetals. The elements in this group include boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium.
The inner transition metals are radioactive and are found in the f-block. These are commonly referred to as actinoids and are alkali metals.
There are at least two possible answers to this question. The two most usual ones are probably: metals, nonmetals, and metalloids; or main group, transition elements, and inner transition elements.
Yes
Actually, it's the other way around. Electrons of transition metals fill d-sublevels, while electrons of inner transition metals fill f-sublevels. Inner transition metals are located in the f-block of the periodic table, while transition metals are located in the d-block.
Metals from the d-block (by opposition with the inner transition metals).
Metals, non-metals and transition metals.
Non-metals are located on the right side. Transitional metals in the middle area.
Yes, transition metals are Group B elements found in the d-block of the periodic table. Inner transition metals, on the other hand, are located in the f-block of the periodic table and consist of the lanthanides and actinides.
No, electrons of inner transition metals fill f-sublevels, while electrons of transition metals fill d-sublevels. Inner transition metals have their f-sublevels as part of their electron configuration, whereas transition metals have d-sublevels as part of their electron configuration.
No, pb is the chemical symbol for lead, which is not classified as an inner transition metal. Inner transition metals are elements located in the f-block of the periodic table, such as the lanthanides and actinides. Lead is classified as a post-transition metal.
