Answer 2

Answer:elements that fall between those on the left and right sides of the periodic table

Step-by-step explanation:

The term 'transition metals' emphasises their position in the periodic table. The term shows that they are metals sandwiched between the left and right hand sides of the periodic table. They are found between groups IIA and IIIA. The former are s-block metals while the later are p-block metals. The transition metals all possess d-orbitals which are partially filled.
