Group 1 = Alkali Metals Group 2 = Alkali Earth metals Between Group 2 And Group 3 are the Transition metals. Groups 3,4,5,& 6 do not have a name, but are headed by Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen and Oxygen respectively. Group 7 = Halogens Group 8 = Noble/Inert gases. Lower down the Periodic table between Group 2 and the Transition metals are two Periods(Rows) ; the first are the Lanthanides and the second(lower again) are the Actinides(Radio Active elements).
The opposite of transition metals are main group elements, which include elements from groups 1, 2, and 13-18 on the periodic table. Main group elements typically have predictable properties and are less likely to exhibit variable oxidation states compared to transition metals.
The transition elements are placed in center of periodic table. Examples are: zinc and copper
No, period 1 elements are not more electronegative than period 2 elements. Electronegativity generally increases across a period from left to right, so elements in period 2 are generally more electronegative than elements in period 1.
The main group of elements includes all the elements in columns 1, 2, and 13 through 18 of a wide form Periodic Table. All the other elements are "transition elements", and those in the two horizontal rows at the bottom of a wide form periodic table are also called "inner transition" elements.
Groups 1, 2, and 13 are not considered transition elements as they do not exhibit the typical properties of transition metals such as multiple oxidation states and colored compounds.
So-called NON-transition metals is not a defined group of elements, other than "All other elements that are NOT transition elements".

elements from group1-2 ,13-18 are called representative elements. Those from 3-12 form the transition elements!
No, 3-12 elements on the periodic table (group 3 to group 12) are transition metals, not representative elements. Representative elements are found in groups 1 and 2, and 13 to 18 on the periodic table.
Transition elements typically have electrons in the outermost d orbitals, which can vary in number depending on the element and its position in the transition series. These elements can have a range of electrons in their electron cloud, with the d orbitals allowing for multiple oxidation states and complex bonding patterns.

Group 2 elements are actually called alkaline earth metals, not transition elements. Transition elements are found in the d-block of the periodic table and have partially filled d orbitals. Alkaline earth metals get their name because they form alkaline solutions when they react with water and are found in the earth's crust.
