A block of the periodic table is a set of chemical elements predominantly characterised by having their highest energy electrons in the same atomic orbital type. The term appears to have been first used by Charles Janet.[1] Each block is named after its characteristic orbital; thus, the blocks are:
s-block
p-block
d-block
f-block
The block names (s, p, d, f and g) are derived from the spectroscopic notation for the associated atomic orbitals: sharp, principal, diffuse, and fundamental

s-Block, p-block, and Group 12 elements are called main group elements and d-block elements other than Group 12 and f-block elements are called transition elements.
