Elements in groups 3 to 12 of the periodic table, characterized by filling their d-orbitals.

The general electronic configuration of d-block elements involves filling the (n-1)d orbitals with 1 to 10 electrons and the ns orbitals with 1 or 2 electrons.

Zinc (Zn), Cadmium (Cd), and Mercury (Hg) are not considered transition metals due to their full d-orbitals in their ground state.

The series of transition metals starting with Scandium (Sc) and ending with Zinc (Zn) is known as the 3d series.

Transition elements exhibit a range of properties, including high melting points, strong metallic character, and the ability to form colored compounds.

Elements in groups 3 to 12 of the periodic table are known as d-block elements.

The series of transition metals beginning with Scandium (Sc) and ending with Zinc (Zn) is called the 3d series.

Zinc (Zn), Cadmium (Cd), and Mercury (Hg) are not considered transition metals because their d-orbitals are fully filled in their ground state.

The generalized electronic configuration for d-block elements involves filling the (n-1)d orbitals with 1 to 10 electrons and the ns orbitals with 1 or 2 electrons.

Transition elements generally exhibit a wide range of properties, such as high melting points, strong metallic character, and the ability to form colored compounds.
