Question

Write down the electronic configuration of (i) p-block elements (ii) d- block elements (iii) f-block elements

Answer 1

The s orbital can get two electrons while p, d and f orbitals can hold 6, 10 and 14 electrons separately. Generally, the electronic configuration of theseelements is (n-1) d 1–10ns 1–2. ... Thed–block includes the middle area marked by s– and p– blocks in the periodic table.
