A transition element is any element that is a transition metal on the Periodic Table.
Added: All elements in group 3 to 12 (period 4, 5 and 6) are transition elements: they have 2 electrons in their most outer shell ( 4th, 5th, and 6th shell) while the shell of 'one level lower' (3rd, ... and so on) is filled up by 1 electron in each of the ten steps higher in atom number)
Atom numbers from 21 to 30 (Sc to Zn) and 39 to 48 (Y to Cd) are the most common transition metals, but also 72 to 80 (Hf to Hg) in period 6, coming right behind the lanthanides (58-71).
[The transition metals reside in the middle of the Periodic Table but do not contain rare earth metals: the Lanthanides and Actinides.]
Seaborgium is considered a transition metal.
any in column 1a, 2a, 3a-8a
No, xenon (Xe) is not a transition element. It is a group 18 element or noble gas.
No, gold is not considered a transition element. Transition elements are the d-block elements in the periodic table, while gold is a representative element in the s-block.
Silver belongs to the transition metals element family.

So-called NON-transition metals is not a defined group of elements, other than "All other elements that are NOT transition elements".
No, gold is not considered a transition element. Transition elements are the d-block elements in the periodic table, while gold is a representative element in the s-block.
No, chromium is not a representative element. It is a transition metal located in the d-block of the periodic table.
