Fe, or Iron, element 26 belongs to group 8 on the periodic table, although since it is in the transition metals, you cannot rely solely on the group number to find how many valence electrons it has
On the Periodic Table, there are 5 types of metal that can all be found to the left of the non-metal/metal "staircase" divide. The metals groups are as follows (left to right):Alkali MetalsAlkaline Earth MetalsTransition Metals (Inc. Lanthanides and Actinides)Post-Transition MetalsMetalloidsAfter the Metalloids is the "Staircase" divide between the metals and non-metals. The transition metals are the biggest area of metals as they include the Lanthanides and Actinides.
The metalloids split the table these are a diagonal group of elements, B, Si, Ge, As, Sb and Te. To their right are the non metals to the left the metals. There are many more metals than any other type of element. See Wikipedia article "Periodic table (metals and non metals)"
The more left and the more down in the periodic table, you'll find the metals (except hydrogen). Only in the upper right corner (at fluorine) are the nonmetals. On the mid-diagonal in between both corners there is the greatest group containg the metalloids (half metals). But excluded from all this, is the 'noble gas'-group.
The most reactive metals are typically found on the far left side of the periodic table, in Group 1 (alkali metals) and Group 2 (alkaline earth metals). These metals have a tendency to lose electrons easily and form positive ions, making them highly reactive.
The mass of an element increases as you go down the periodic table. The heaviest discovered (synthesized) metals are in the bottom row of the transition metals group.
The alkali metals, found in group 1 transition metals in groups 3 through 12

Transition metals, row 4, column 7.
Non-metals and metalloids are found to the right on the periodic table.

The semi metals are called metalloids. They are present on zigzag line on periodic table.

The f-block elements (lanthanides and actinides, the two rows at the bottom of the periodic table) are known as inner transition elements
