Question
Write the general outer electronic configuration of s-, p-, d- and f- block elements.

Answer

  1. s-Block elements: $\mathrm{ns}^{1-2}$ where $\mathrm{n}=2-7$.
  2. p-Block elements: $n s^2 n p^{1-6}$ where $n=2-6$.
  3. d-Block elements: $(n-1) d^{1-10} n s^{0-2}$ where $n=4-7$.
  4. f-Block elements: $(n-2) f^{0-14}(n-1) d^{0-1} n s^2$ where $n=6-7$.
