the outer shell electrons of the transition elements (middle section) go into the 'd' orbital e.g. Cobalt (Co) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d7 The 4s orbitals get filled up before the 3d orbitals because it takes less energy to fill the 4s orbital
On the periodic chart, the element with 5 electrons in its 3d orbital can be quickly identified. Elements with partially filled d-orbitals are located in the middle section, the "transitional metals." 3d is the first d-orbital, so we look in the first row of the middle section. This section fills the orbital by one more electron per element, so the one with 5 electrons is the fifth from the left.... Manganese! Atomic number 25.

d-block elements or transition metals
Yes, they are both gases in Section VIII of the Periodic Table
Palladium have 3 valence electrons because this metal is located in the transition metal section, which means all the elements in 3-12 have 3 valence electrons.

its d-block i.e. elements whose outermost electrons lie in d-subshell.
It is not the orbital that holds more electrons. All orbitals can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.However, the p-subshell can hold more electrons than the s-subshell. This is because the s-subshell is only made of 1 orbital, and 1 x 2 = 2, therefore it can only hold 2 electrons. The p-subshell is made of 3 orbitals, and 3 x 2 = 6, so it can hold a maximum of 6 electrons.So, a p-subshell can hold more electrons than an s-subshell because it is made up of more orbitals. It is not the orbitals that hold more electrons.
Transition elements reside in the Transition Metals section of the Periodic Table. Groups in this section always contain four elements. This section has most of the known elements in and it includes the Lanthanides and Actinides.
