Question

Which category of elements is listed below the main body of the periodic table?

A.) halogens

B.) inner transition metals

C.) metals

D.) nonmetals

Answer 1

on the periodic table, there’s different type of elements so for this main body I think no metals because there’s more of no metals than metals and there’s a lot of gases, liquid, air, etc. So I am thinking that the answer is D

Answer 2

The inner transition metals are the elements those are listed below the main body of periodic table.

Option B

Explanation:

Inner transition metals are Lanthanides and Actinides. These include elements like lanthanides and actinides . The lanthanides are the elements which are very similar in properties while all the actinides form a part radioactive element.

These inner transition elements have 3 incomplete “outermost electron shells”. Even though they are metals, in many cases, they are also quite malleable and ductile. Lanthanide elements such as Lutetium are put to use in the lighting industry too. Excluding thorium and uranium, actinides are absent in nature and are highly unstable.
