What else can I help you with?
What name is sometimes used to refer to entire set of d-block elements?
D-block elements are also known as the transition metals.
What name is sometimes used to refer to the entire set of d block elements?
The transition metals
What are the elements in groups 3 through 12 called on the periodic table of elements?
The elements in groups 3 through 12 on the periodic table are known as transition metals. These elements are characterized by their ability to form stable ions with partially filled d orbitals. They often exhibit multiple oxidation states and are known for their catalytic properties.
Why are the transition metals referred to as the d-block elements?
because the are populating their d orbital
What are elements in groups 3-12 known as?
Transition Metals! ^-^ http://chemistry.about.com/library/blperiodictable.htm
Elements in groups 3 through 12 of the periodic table are called?
These elements are known as transition metals or d-block elements
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'.
Are transition elements metals?
yes they are metals
Elements in the d block are also known as?
These elements are called "main group elements".
What elements are outer transition elements in periodic table?
An element with an incomplete d subshell. Elements which have common cations with incomplete d subshells are also considered transition metals. Elements with incomplete f subshells are sometimes called "inner transition elements."
What are elements in group 1a to 8a called?
Sometimes these are called the "representative" elements.
Which metals contain the most elements?
transition metals
