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

Answer

  1. s-Block elements: ns1-2 where n = 2 – 7.
  2. p-Block elements: ns2 np1-6 where n = 2 - 6.
  3. d-Block elements: (n – 1) d1-10 ns0-2  where n = 4 - 7.
  4. f-Block elements: (n – 2) f0-14 (n - 1) d0-1 nswhere n = 6 – 7.
