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

Actually, it's the other way around. Electrons of transition metals fill d-sublevels, while electrons of inner transition metals fill f-sublevels. Inner transition metals are located in the f-block of the periodic table, while transition metals are located in the d-block.


What is meant by outer transition elements?

Metals from the d-block (by opposition with the inner transition metals).
