Transition elements are called transition elements because the electrons in these elements are not in process of filling valence(outermost ) shell instead they are, in case of d-block elements, in process of filling penultimate shell. and in case of f- block elements, electrons are in process of filling next to the penultimate shell.
These elements are known as transition metals or d-block elements
Yes, lanthanide and Actinides are transition elements and they are specifically called inner transition elements.
inner transition elements are those who have their last 3 shells incompletely filled. The f block elements have their last 3 shells incompletly filled . That is why they are also called as inner transition elements. what different between inner transition and outer transition elements

Transition Metals! ^-^ http://chemistry.about.com/library/blperiodictable.htm
These elements are called "main group elements".
Transition elements may be defined as those elements which have partialy filled d and f subshells in atomic state so d and f block elements called transition elements.
Elements with incomplete valance shell as well as incomplete penultimate shell are called transition elements.
The 38 elements in group 3 through 12 of the periodic table are called Transition Metals.It consist of elements from atomic number 21 to 112. These are also called d block elements.
These chemical elements are called transition metals.
No, elements in the s and p blocks of the periodic table are not called transition metals. Transition metals are a group of elements located in the d-block of the periodic table. Elements in the s and p blocks have different properties compared to transition metals.
