Chapter 17, Problem 24R

To determine

To Write: The name of the elements which are in groups 3 through 12 on the periodic table.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Transition elements are also known as transition metals are the elements that have partially filled d orbitals.

Transition elements are the elements in which having filling of d sub shell takes place, or an element which has the ability to form ions having incomplete d orbital. In general, any of the elements which corresponding to the d block of the modern periodic table which consist of the groups 3 through 12 is considered to be a transition element.

Conclusion:

Thus, the transition elements are in groups 3 through 12 on the periodic table.
