Answer 1

Answer:

Inner transition elements are the elements in which the last electron enters in the f-orbital. They generally belong to group 3 in the periodic table but are mentioned separately as the f block elements. These f block elements are known as inner transition elements

Answer 2

The inner transition elements are called f-block elements and they are separately placed from the periodic table.

•  The inner transition elements are those elements in which the last electron enters the f- subshell.
• It contains the lanthanoid and actinoid series starting from atomic numbers 58-71 and 89-103 respectively.
• The general formula of inner transition elements is (n-2)f¹⁻¹⁴(n-1)d⁰⁻¹ns².
• Uses of transition elements are:

       They are used to make weapons related to atomic powers.

       They are used to make bullets and grenades.

       They are used to make powerful magnets.
