D-block

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about a class of chemical elements. For the rap group, see D-Block (Hip Hop).

The d-block of the periodic table of the elements consists of those periodic table groups that contain elements in which, in the atomic ground state, the highest-energy electron is in a d-orbital. The d-block elements are often also known as transition metals.
