d-block elements or transition metals
The d-sub level section of elements on the Periodic Table is often referred to as the "transition metals." These elements are located in groups 3 to 12 and have partially filled d orbitals in their electron configurations.
A period in the periodic table is a row of elements that share the same number of electron shells. Elements within the same period have the same highest energy level.
As you move across the periodic table from left to right, the elements within a given row have their electrons in the same energy level (given by the number of the row they are in). They way they differ is by the number of electrons. Moving from left to right, the number of electrons increase.
The rows of elements in the periodic table are called periods. There are a total of 7 periods in the periodic table, each representing a different energy level or shell in which the elements' electrons are arranged.
Elements 114, 116, and 118 are in period 7 of the periodic table, so they will have 7 outer level electrons. Each period in the periodic table represents the number of electron shells an atom has, and the elements in the same period will have the same number of outer level electrons.
Periods on the periodic table refer to the horizontal rows that categorize elements based on the number of electron shells they have. There are a total of 7 periods on the periodic table, each representing a different energy level for the elements within that row.
The number of electrons to be gained or lost is what differientiates metallic and non-metallic elements on the periodic table at a subatomic level.
As you move across the periodic table from left to right, the elements within a given row have their electrons in the same energy level (given by the number of the row they are in). They way they differ is by the number of electrons. Moving from left to right, the number of electrons increase.
A column in the periodic table is called a group or a family. Elements within the same group share similar chemical properties due to having the same number of valence electrons. There are 18 groups in the periodic table.
The first period of the periodic table's elements all have 1 energy level.
All of the elements in a given horizontal row (or period) have the energy level, but they differ in the number of valence electrons.
In the Periodic Table of the Elements, a column (group) contains all elements that exist with the group number of electrons in the outer energy level of an atom of that element.
Their valence electrons are in the same energy level.

A period is a horizontal row on the periodic table of the elements. There are seven periods on the periodic table. Each period corresponds to the highest energy level that contains electrons. For example, the elements in the first period have electrons in the first energy level, which is the only energy level available; the elements in the second period have their highest energy electrons in the second energy level; the elements in the third period have their highest energy electrons in the third energy level, and so on.
All group 14 elements share a valence electron configuration of ns2np2, where n is the principal quantum number of the valence shell. They can form covalent compounds, tend to have multiple oxidation states, and can act as both metals and nonmetals.
Elements with five or more electrons in the outer energy level are typically classified as nonmetals. These elements tend to gain electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration. Examples include nitrogen, oxygen, and chlorine.
An atom's "group" is its column position in the Periodic Table of the Elements. Elements in the same group in the periodic table have similar chemical properties. This is because their atoms have the same number of electrons in the highest occupied energy level.
