Group 2 elements are actually called alkaline earth metals, not transition elements. Transition elements are found in the d-block of the Periodic Table and have partially filled d orbitals. Alkaline earth metals get their name because they form alkaline solutions when they react with water and are found in the earth's crust.
The elements on the periodic table between group 2 (alkaline earth metals) and group 3 (transition metals) are called the transition elements or transition metals. These elements exhibit characteristic chemical properties such as variable oxidation states and the ability to form colored compounds.
Elements in group 2 through 12 of the periodic table are known as transition metals. They are characterized by their ability to form multiple oxidation states and their tendency to exhibit colorful compounds.
Elements of Group 1 are called alkali metals. These elements include lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. They are highly reactive due to their tendency to lose one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
They are called the transition metals. These elements are located in groups 3-12 on the periodic table and have properties such as high melting points, conductivity, and the ability to form colored compounds.
Groups 1, 2, and 13 are not considered transition elements as they do not exhibit the typical properties of transition metals such as multiple oxidation states and colored compounds.
The elements on the periodic table between group 2 (alkaline earth metals) and group 3 (transition metals) are called the transition elements or transition metals. These elements exhibit characteristic chemical properties such as variable oxidation states and the ability to form colored compounds.
Group 1 = Alkali Metals Group 2 = Alkali Earth metals Between Group 2 And Group 3 are the Transition metals. Groups 3,4,5,& 6 do not have a name, but are headed by Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen and Oxygen respectively. Group 7 = Halogens Group 8 = Noble/Inert gases. Lower down the Periodic table between Group 2 and the Transition metals are two Periods(Rows) ; the first are the Lanthanides and the second(lower again) are the Actinides(Radio Active elements).
In the periodic table, elements from groups 1, 2, and 12, as well as elements in groups 13-18, are not considered transition elements. Transition elements are typically found in groups 3-11.
Elements in group 2 through 12 of the periodic table are known as transition metals. They are characterized by their ability to form multiple oxidation states and their tendency to exhibit colorful compounds.
Transition metal group,that is between group 2 and 3
The elements between group 2 and 13 are called Transition elements. They are placed in center of periodic table.
Elements of Group 1 are called alkali metals. These elements include lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. They are highly reactive due to their tendency to lose one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
The main group of elements includes all the elements in columns 1, 2, and 13 through 18 of a wide form periodic table. All the other elements are "transition elements", and those in the two horizontal rows at the bottom of a wide form periodic table are also called "inner transition" elements.
The opposite of transition metals are main group elements, which include elements from groups 1, 2, and 13-18 on the periodic table. Main group elements typically have predictable properties and are less likely to exhibit variable oxidation states compared to transition metals.

Copper (Cu) has 2 valence electrons. It is located in the middle group of elements, called Transition Metals, and all transition metals have 2 valence electrons...hope that helped! =D
elements from group1-2 ,13-18 are called representative elements. Those from 3-12 form the transition elements!
