They are placed here because they do not show the clearly defined patterns ol behavior of elements within groups, so they do not into any ofthe eight groups marked on the periodic table But they op share several general properties. For example most of them including the familiar metals iron and copper, combine with other elements to form colored compounds Two rows of the transition metals op not into any group or period and are out from the rest of the table to give the table coherent shape The elements in these rows called the lanthanides and actinides. make the inner transition series luding separated
