The elements in groups 1A and 2A have valence electrons in s-orbitals, while the elements in groups 3A-8A have valence electrons in p-orbitals.

∙ 9y agoLanthanides and actinides are in the f-subunit so their valence electrons end in the f unit. Other transition metals are in the d-subunit.

Are atoms divided up into groups according to color?
No. Atoms are divided into groups according to their proprieties and electron configurations.
Explain why the transition metals are sometimes referred to as the d-blok elements?
the transition metals constitute groups 3 through 12 and are sometimes called d-block elements because of their position in the periodic table; while they all have the same valance electron orbital 'd'.
Why are alkali metals more reactive than transition metals?
Groups 3-12 do not have individual names. Instead, all of these groups are called transition metals. The atoms of transition metals do not give away their electrons as easily as atoms of the Group 1 and Group 2 metals do. So, transition metals are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals are.
What are elements in groups 3-12 known as?
Transition Metals! ^-^ http://chemistry.about.com/library/blperiodictable.htm
In the new numbering system for the periodic table the transition elements are the ones in groups through?
Transition metals are placed in groups 3 to 12.
What groups have electron configurations that end with 1 electron in the P-Block?
group 13 or IIIA

What are the group numbers and the generic outer electron configurations for a neutral atom?
Chemical elements in the periodic table are placed in 18 groups (columns); the number of electrons in this level is 1 to 8.
What is the valence electron for group 3?
The number of valence electrons in groups 3 through 7 is the same as the group number, and for group 12 the number of valence electrons is 2. For groups 8 through 11, the number of valence electrons must be determined individually from individual electronic configurations.
Why are alkali metals more reactive than transition metals?
Groups 3-12 do not have individual names. Instead, all of these groups are called transition metals. The atoms of transition metals do not give away their electrons as easily as atoms of the Group 1 and Group 2 metals do. So, transition metals are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals are.
Why do groups among the main-group element display similar chemical behavior?
The electron configurations of the elements in each main group are regular and consistent:the elements in each group have the same number of valence electrons.
Which groups of elements are transition elements?
Elements located in groups 4 - 12 in the modern periodic table are considered as transition elements. Transition elements should not be confused with the d-block elements which are from groups 3 - 12.
Why are group 8 elements very few?
The arrangement of chemical elements in groups and periods is determined by the periodicity of the chemical properties. In the case of the transition state elements, there are some smaller groups because of the way the incomplete inner electron shells are filled.

How many electron groups in co2?
2 electron groups are in CO2. Proof, I got it wrong on a quiz. :(
In the new numbering system for the periodic table the transition elements are the ones in groups through?
