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).
The transition elements are placed in center of periodic table. Examples are: zinc and copper
Transition metals
Yes, going down the periods on the periodic table decreases electronegativity.
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.

The (loosely defined) transition metals are the 40 chemical elements 21 to 30, 39 to 48, 71 to 80, and 103 to 112. The name transition comes from their position in the periodic table of elements.In each of the four periods in which they occur, these elements represent the successive addition of electrons to the datomic orbitals of the atoms. In this way, the transition metals represent the transition between group 2 elementsand group 13 elements.
Elemets that are transition elements are situated in the middle of the Periodic Table. They are periods 4-7, columns 3-12 (not groups at the transition metals are between groups 2 and 3 in an area of their own). They transition metal with the lowest atomic mass is Scandium (Sc) in the top left and the highest atomic mass is the artificial element Copernicium (Cn). The transition metals also contain the Lanthanides and Actinides.

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.
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.
The transition elements are placed in center of periodic table. Examples are: zinc and copper
elements from group1-2 ,13-18 are called representative elements. Those from 3-12 form the transition elements!
Transition metals
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.
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.
