Question

Name the different blocks of elements in periodic table give the general electronic configuration of each block????

Answer 1

Same answer as this answer is perfect

Answer 2

The different blocks of the periodic table are s, p, d and f blocks.

• s-block of the periodic table has its valance electron in s-subshell. Like- Na. The general electronic configuration is $ns^{(1-2)}$.
• p-block of the periodic table has its valance electron in p-subshell. Like-P.
• The general electronic configuration is $ns^{(1-2)}np^{(1-6)}$.
• d-block of the periodic table has its valance electron in d-subshell. Like-Cu.
• The general electronic configuration is $ns^{(1-2)}(n-1)d^{(1-10)}$.
• f-block of the periodic table has its valance electron in f-subshell. Like-U.
• The general electronic configuration is $(n-2)f^{1-14}(n-1)p^{1-6}ns^{(1-2)}$
