Answer:

4. Transition metals

Explanation:

Transition metals differ from the other elements because their valence electrons can be found in more than one shell, specifically, in the last two shells. Another notable difference between transition metals and other elements on the periodic table is that they can have more than 8 electrons in their outermost shell. They can have up to 32 electrons.
