Transition metals are a group of metallic elements found in the central block of the Periodic Table, specifically in groups 3 to 12. They are characterized by their ability to form variable oxidation states and complex ions, and they often exhibit properties such as high melting points, high electrical conductivity, and catalytic activity. Common examples include iron, copper, and nickel. Transition metals play crucial roles in various industrial and biological processes.

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.
