Answer:

Other Metals. There are seven elements that are classified as "other metals.". Like the transition metals, they are ductile and malleable, but they do not have different oxidation states since their valence electrons are only in the outer shell. The other metals (sometimes called 'typical metals') are located in groups 13, 14 and 15. Although these elements contain some of the same properties as the transitional elements (malleable and ductile), they aren't the same. These elements, unlike the transitional elements, do not vary in their oxidation states.

What I mean by 13, 14 and 15 is in the Periodic table.

Hope this helps and good luck!
