Question

Write the general properties of p block elements and d block elements

Answer 1

Properties of p- block

element~~

1. they are hard and rigid.
2. they have high melting and boiling point.
3. they have high ionization enthalpy.
4. generally elements of P block are metals nonmetals and metalloids.
5. mostly p block elements are colourless but only halides can show flame colouration test.
6. they are strong oxidising agent.
7. these elements can give variable Oxidation State.

PROPERTIES OF d-block

elements ~~

1. they are metallic with high melting and boiling point.
2. they give variable Oxidation State.
3. few elements are behave as a catalyst.
4. they can form complexes.
5. mostly d block elements are paramagnetic and few are diamagnetic .
6. they can form coloured compounds.
