The inner transition metals are a section that has been pulled out of the periodic table. These elements are called Lanthanides (La) & Actinides (Ac).

Lanthanides: Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb & Lu

Actinides: Th, Pa, U, Np, Pu, Am, Cm, Bk, Cf, Es, Fm, Md, No, Pu, and Lr.

Do electrons of inner transition metals fill d-sublevels and electrons of transition metals fill f-sublevels?

No, electrons of inner transition metals fill f-sublevels, while electrons of transition metals fill d-sublevels. Inner transition metals have their f-sublevels as part of their electron configuration, whereas transition metals have d-sublevels as part of their electron configuration.


What period is aluminum in on the periodic table?

Al is a transitional metal since it is under the stair-step line that divides transitional metals from non-metals.


Do transitional metals have high density?

Transition metals can have high density due to their high atomic masses and compact atomic structures. However, the density of transition metals can vary widely depending on the specific metal and its crystal structure.


What are the names of the families of metals?

The families of metals are categorized into groups on the periodic table. Some common families of metals include the alkali metals (Group 1), alkaline earth metals (Group 2), transition metals (Groups 3-12), and the lanthanides and actinides (below the main table).


What is a transitional metal?

Transitions metals include any of the metallic elements that have an incomplete inner electron shell (d subshell) and that serve as transitional links between the most and the least electropositive in a series of elements. They are characterized by multiple valences, colored compounds, and the ability to form stable complex ions. Technically Scandium and Zinc are not transition metals as they form only one ion which leads to Scandium having a completely empty d-sub shell and in Zinc; a completely full d - sub shell. The technical definition of a transition metal is when the metal contain at least one unpaired d-sub shell in at least one ion
