What name is given to the elements in a vertical column on the periodic table?

The elements that are listed in vertical columns all share specific aspects. These aspects include having the same number of valence electrons and having similar chemical properties.


What are the metallic elements located in groups 3-12 of the periodic table?

The metallic elements located in groups 3-12 of the periodic table are known as transition metals. Some examples of transition metals include iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), silver (Ag), and gold (Au). These elements are characterized by their ability to form multiple oxidation states and often exhibit colorful compounds.


What are all the element that in group 6 call?

All the elements in group 6 are called the transition metals. This is also true for groups 3-12.


What are The horizontal blank on the periodic table of elements are called periods.?

The Horizontal Rows are named PERIODS The Vertical Columns are named GROUPS. The two most left - hand columns , Groups 1 & 2 are also known as the 'Alkali Metals' and 'Alkaline Earth Metals', respectively. The two most right - hand columns , are Groups 17 & 18 and are known as the 'Halogens' and 'Noble/Inert Gases', respectively. Groups 4 to 11 are often referred to as the Transition elements and produce coloured ions. In Periods 6 & 7 are the Lanthanide and Actinide elements respectively. They are often shown as a separate block at the bottom of the modern Periodic Table. They lie between Groups 2 & 4. The Actinides are so-called because they contain all the Radio-ACTIVE elements. Have a look at the 'Chemical Galaxy' on the 'web'. It shows all the elements in the form of a Catherine wheel. The spokes being the Groups and the circles being the Periods. It is quite spectacular and probably a truer representation of the elemental arrangements.


In the periodic table what is meant by the term group?

A vertical column on the Periodic table on the periodic table is called group. There are 18 groups on the table. These groups are also referred to as families. Each element in a group has the same number of valence electrons and, therefore, similar chemical properties (there are some exceptions though).
