Transition metals are d-block elements. Their general electronic configuration is (n-1)d1-9 ns0-2. The last electron enters the d-subshell.
Inner Transition metals are f-block elements. Their general electronic configuration is (n-2)f1-13(n-1)d1-9 ns0-2. The last electron enters the f-subshell.
These elements are known as transition metals or d-block elements
These elements are called "main group elements".
There are 38 elements classified as transition metals in the periodic table.
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.
The early vs. late transition metals differ in their oxidation states (each metal has different possible oxidation states). Electrons have a stronger attraction to the protons in the late transition metals, so the later transition metals form bonds that are harder to break.

Transition metals make colorful cations. They make compounds with different oxidation numbers.
D-block elements are also known as the transition metals.
yes they are metals

transition metals are not in any groups, however they are elements between group II & III of the periodic table
