Solution
The d-block elements are called as transition elements.
Explanation:
The d-block elements are known as transition elements because they are positioned between the highly reactive s-block metals and the less metallic p-block elements. Their properties represent a “transition” from the strongly electropositive nature of s-block metals to the covalent and non-metallic nature of p-block elements.
