a. iron
b. element 15
c. U
d. xenon
e. tin
Step 1 of 3
Types of Elements:
Representative Elements:
These elements are found in the main groups of the periodic table (Groups \(1,{\rm{ }}2,\) and \(13 - 18\)). They exhibit various chemical properties and are involved in typical chemical reactions.
Transition Elements:
These elements are found in the d-block of the periodic table (Groups \(3 - 12\)). They have partially filled d orbitals and often exhibit multiple oxidation states.
Inner-Transition Elements:
These elements are found in the f-block of the periodic table and are divided into two series: lanthanides and actinides.
Noble Gases:
These elements are found in Group \(18\) of the periodic table which are chemically inert.
