Representative Elements
Groups 1, 2, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18
Transition Metals
Groups 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 also group 12 except copernicium in group 12 is not a transition metal Lanthanides and actinides are not transition metals
Periods 6 and 7
Lanthanides are considered part of period 6 and actinides are considered part of period 7.
