They follow a pattern for valence electrons.

∙ 13y agoThe elements in the center region of the table, consisting of dozens of metallic elements in Groups 3-12, including the lanthanide and actinide elements, are called the transition elements or transition metals. The other elements, Groups 1,2, and 13-18, are called the representative elements.
There is a correlation among the representative elements between the number of valence electrons in an atom and the tendency of the element to act as a metal, nonmetal, or metalloid. Among the representative elements, the metals are located at the left and have few valence electrons. The nonmetals are at the right and have nearly a full shell of electrons. The metalloids have an intermediate number of valence electrons.

What are elements in group 1a to 8a called?
Sometimes these are called the "representative" elements.
The representative elements are usually called?
Group A elements.
Which of the elements are representative elements in the periodic table?
All of them. "Representative elements" means "representative of the group". A group which doesn't have any representative elements would be a largely meaningless group.Group-1, 2,13-18 include representative elements. Group-1 and 2 contain metals. Group 13-17 contain non metals. Group18 comprises of noble gases.
Are 3-12 elements on the periodic table of elements representative elements?
Yes. All elements from 1-20 are representative elements as they belong to a representative group (i.e. they aren't a transition metal).
What are the elements in groups 1A to 8A called?
The elements in group 1a to 8a called representative elements. This is due to the fact that they portray as wide array of chemical and physical properties.
What are elements in group 1a to 8a called?
Sometimes these are called the "representative" elements.
The representative elements are usually called?
Group A elements.
What are in the main group of elements?
Groups 1, 2, and 13 - 18 are the main group elements, also called the representative elements.
Why are group a elements on the periodic table called representative elements?
They follow a pattern for valence electrons.
What family or group do the representative elements belong?
the representative elements belong to the main group in the periodic table - rosellnica balasoto

Why are the main-group elements called the representative elements.?
S- and p- electrons fill in a regular repeating manner. Hence, elements in the s- and p-blocks have predictable patterns that represent a wide range of properties. Therefore, the s- and p-block elements are called the main-group, or representative, elements. Non-metals, Alkali, Halogens
What do you mean by Representative Elements?
The representative elements are located in groups 1A through 7A. They are referred to as representative elements because they display a wide range of physical and chemical properties. Some are metals, some are nonmetals, and some are metalloids. The S and P sub-levels of the highest energy are not filled.
Which elements on the periodic table are not representataive elements?
Any of the elements from the transition metals aren't representative elements as they don't belong to a representative element group (i.e. Group 0-7).
Are 3-12 elements on the periodic table of elements representative elements?
Yes. All elements from 1-20 are representative elements as they belong to a representative group (i.e. they aren't a transition metal).
What are the elements in groups 1A to 8A called?
The elements in group 1a to 8a called representative elements. This is due to the fact that they portray as wide array of chemical and physical properties.
Elements in the d block are also known as?
These elements are called "main group elements".
