Question

Distinguish between p block and d block

​

Answer 1

Answer:

In d-block, the valence electron enters the d-subshell due to the Aufbau's principle. -The configuration of p-block elements can be shown as ns2np1−6 while that of d-block can be shown as (n−1)d1−10ns0,1,2 . This is the main reason for the difference in the oxidation states of both the p-block and d-block elements.

Answer 2

Answer:

The p-block together are usually considered main-group elements,and the d-block corresponds to the transition metals.
