- The D-block elements are metals with typical matallic properties and are often reffered to as transition elements or metals.
» Transition metals are 68 chemical elements with atomic numbers from 21 to 30, 39 to 48, 57 to 80, and 89 to 112.
» The reason for this name is due to their position in the periodic table where they begin. initiates the transition due to the addition of electrons in the atomic orbitals of the d-block or shell.
