Question

What are normal, transition and inner- transition elements?

Answer 1

s block and p block elements are normal elements

d block are transition elements

f block are inner transition elements

its on the reference to long form of periodic table

Answer 2

Definition

Metals in Transition

Transition metals are chemical elements that contain unpaired d electrons in their atoms; even their stable cations contain unpaired d electrons.

Inner Transition Metals

Inner Transition Metals are chemical elements that have valence electrons in their penultimate electron shell’s f orbitals.

Normal Elements

Elements belonging to the s- and p-blocks in the periodic table are called the normal elements or main group elements.
