The hardest and densest metals are typically found in the d-block of the Periodic Table, which contains transition metals. Elements such as tungsten, osmium, and iridium, known for their hardness and density, are located in this block. These metals exhibit unique properties due to their electron configuration and metallic bonding characteristics. In contrast, s-block and p-block metals generally have lower densities and hardness compared to those in the d-block.
There are 17 nonmetals and only 6 metalloids.
Yes, transition metals are Group B elements found in the d-block of the periodic table. Inner transition metals, on the other hand, are located in the f-block of the periodic table and consist of the lanthanides and actinides.
S-block groups are groups of elements found in the s-block of the periodic table. These elements have their outermost electron(s) in s orbitals. They include alkali metals and alkaline earth metals. These elements are highly reactive due to their tendency to lose electrons and form positive ions.
Semi-metals, also known as metalloids, are found along the staircase line on the periodic table. Some examples of semi-metals include boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. These elements show properties of both metals and nonmetals.
The majority of the "metals" found on the periodic table are the Alkali metals and the Alkaline Earth metals. These would be the elements found on the left hand side below Hydrogen. The Transition metals are a good majority too, which is located in the middle of the table, some you could recognize very easily, such as copper! :]

The densest element found on Earth is osmium.
Transition metals are found in the d-block of the periodic table. These elements typically exhibit multiple oxidation states and have partially filled d orbitals.
The inner transition metals are radioactive and are found in the f-block. These are commonly referred to as actinoids and are alkali metals.
Metals are denser than non-metals. They are not necessarily harder though. Hardness has nothing to do with density - it's down to the structure of the bonded molecules. Diamond is one of the hardest know sustances, but it is a non-metal (a form of carbon). Lead and gold are among the softest of metals yet they are also some of the densest.

Transitional elements/metals.
It's in group 8, within the block of transition metals.
