The group 2 elements are called the alkaline earth metals. The transition metals are in groups 3 - 12. They are transition metals because they have electrons in their d sublevels.
noble gases
Elements in group 1 are called Alkali Metals, after that group 2 elements are called Alkali Earth Metals, group 3-12 elements are called Transition Elements.
Groups 3 through 12 are transition elements. Group 2 is alkaline earth metals.
These elements are called the Alkaline Earth Metals. This group consists of Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium, and Radium.Hopefully this helps:)
3d-block elements or tranformation elements and 4f-block elements or lanthanides and actinides
The chemical reactivity of transition metals is generally less than that of metals to its left (group 1 and group 2 metals). However, transition metals can exhibit various oxidation states and hence form more number of compounds than group 1 and group 2 elements.
Elements in group 1 are called Alkali Metals, after that group 2 elements are called Alkali Earth Metals, group 3-12 elements are called Transition Elements.
Group 1 = Alkali Metals Group 2 = Alkali Earth metals Between Group 2 And Group 3 are the Transition metals. Groups 3,4,5,& 6 do not have a name, but are headed by Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen and Oxygen respectively. Group 7 = Halogens Group 8 = Noble/Inert gases. Lower down the Periodic table between Group 2 and the Transition metals are two Periods(Rows) ; the first are the Lanthanides and the second(lower again) are the Actinides(Radio Active elements).
Groups 3 through 12 are transition elements. Group 2 is alkaline earth metals.
Transition metal group,that is between group 2 and 3
The elements between group 2 and 13 are called Transition elements. They are placed in center of periodic table.
Transition metals
The main group of elements includes all the elements in columns 1, 2, and 13 through 18 of a wide form periodic table. All the other elements are "transition elements", and those in the two horizontal rows at the bottom of a wide form periodic table are also called "inner transition" elements.
These elements are called the Alkaline Earth Metals. This group consists of Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium, and Radium.Hopefully this helps:)

Copper (Cu) has 2 valence electrons. It is located in the middle group of elements, called Transition Metals, and all transition metals have 2 valence electrons...hope that helped! =D
elements from group1-2 ,13-18 are called representative elements. Those from 3-12 form the transition elements!
