No, but some of them can donate all their valence electrons. Let us take a ridiculous example. Copper is [Ar]4s2d9. Donating 11 valence electrons would be energetically impossible. Now Vanadium is different and is [Ar]4s2d3 and so only needs to donate 5 valence electrons. This can be and is done V2O5 is a very stable compound - vanadium pentoxide.
Groups 3-12 do not have individual names. Instead, all of these groups are called transition metals. The atoms of transition metals do not give away their electrons as easily as atoms of the Group 1 and Group 2 metals do. So, transition metals are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals are.
Transition metals have partially filled d orbitals. They can form colored compounds due to d-d electron transitions. They often exhibit multiple oxidation states. They are typically good catalysts due to their ability to form various bonds.
No. Most of the metals listed are not transition metals and most transition metals are not in the list.
All of them are metals. Those are in the d block.
all transition metals and are all magnetic.
Metals donate electrons by losing electrons and forming positive ions.
Copper (Cu) has 2 valence electrons. It is located in the middle group of elements, called Transition Metals, and all transition metals have 2 valence electrons...hope that helped! =D
Valence electrons in transition metals are unique because they are located in the d orbitals, in addition to the s and p orbitals. This allows for a greater variety of oxidation states and coordination geometries, making transition metals versatile in forming complex compounds and exhibiting a wide range of colors and magnetic properties.
Noble gases have a full valence shell with 8 electrons, while all other groups typically have fewer valence electrons. Transition metals have varying numbers of valence electrons depending on their position in the periodic table.

Transition elements are characterized by the presence of electrons in the d orbitals. These elements typically exhibit variable oxidation states and are known for their ability to form colorful compounds. They are located in the d-block of the periodic table.
All elements in the groups (excluding transition metals) have the same number of electrons as the group number.
The physical properties of transition metals are determined by their electron configurations. Most transition metals are hard solids with relatively high melting and boiling points. Differences in properties among transition metals are based on the ability of unpaired d electrons to move into the valence level. The more unpaired electrons in the d sublevel, the greater the hardness and the higher the melting and boiling points.

''Cations'' breh. Transition metals often form ions wihout complete octets that's why all the stable ions are all cations You can also tell that they form cations because some of the trans metals form colored compounds and give off light. Light is only given off by cations, not anions.
