The elements of these groups show periodicity in filling electrons in their atom. They contain 1 to 8
electrons in their outermost shell. The elements of these groups are called Representative Elements.
Representative elements are in solid, liquid and gaseous state.
They are metals, nonmetals and metalloids
Noble gases
Transition Elements
The elements included in groups 3 to 12 in the periodic table are transition elements.
They are metals.
They form coloured compounds.
They show similarities in chemical properties in groups as well as in a period.
The elements between 57 to 71 of period 6 and 89 to 103 period 7 are arranged at the bottom of the
periodic table. These elements are inner transition elements.
Inner transition elements from Lanthanum to Lutetium of period 6 are called Lanthanoides.
Inner transition elements from Actinium to Lawrencium of period 7 are called Actinoides.
Lanthanoides are also called rare earths. Actinoides after Uranium are artificial.
