Question

Which of the following groups does not contain transition elements?

• A. Group 1
• B. Group 13
• C. Group 8
• D. Group 10

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A

Group 1

B

Group 13

The modern periodic table has 18 vertical columns called groups and 7 horizontal rows which are called periods. Every group contains a bunch of elements with similar chemical properties and periods contain elements with the same number of shells.

The elements from group 3 to group 12 in the periodic table contain all the transition metals.

Since we are asked which groups do not contain transition elements. Therefore group 13 and group 1 do not contain any transition elements.
