Answer:

The transition metals were given their name because they had a place between Group 2A (now Group 2) and Group 3A (now Group 13) in the main group elements. Therefore, in order to get from calcium to gallium in the Periodic Table, you had to transition your way through the first row of the d block (Sc → Zn).
