Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the periodic table is divided into blocks based on electron configurations: s-block, p-block, d-block, and f-block.
Recall that noble gases are located in the far right column (Group 18) of the p-block, and alkali metals are in Group 1 (far left) of the s-block.
Recognize that the lanthanide and actinide series correspond to the f-block, which is typically shown as two separate rows below the main body of the periodic table.
Know that noble metals are a subset of transition metals, which are found in the d-block, located in the center of the periodic table between Groups 3 and 12.
Therefore, identify that noble metals are typically located in the center of the transition metals block, not among the noble gases, alkali metals, or f-block elements.
