Group 2 elements are called alkaline Earth metals. These elements have two electrons in the valence shell of their atoms, preceded by the noble gas configuration. Their general configuration is written as [Noble gas] ns 2 where 'n' represents the ..

The last electron enters into 5f-orbital in these elements. The electronic configuration of actinides is given below. The general electronic configuration of these elements is 5f 1 - 1 4 6d 0 - 1 7s 2 . Elementh..

Summary - Groups 13 to 18 of the Periodic table of elements constitute the p-block. An overview of these elements is presented here. In group 13, the characteristic group oxidation state of + 3 is known but the + 1 state gets progressively stabilized on going down the ..

Introduction - The elements that lie in between S-block and P-block are the d-block elements. These elements are called transition elements as they show transitional properties between s and p-block elements. ..

Elements of group 13 to 18 of the periodic table are collectively called 'p' block elements. The general electronic configuration of these elements is ns 2 np 1 - 6 . They involve the filling up of 'p' orbitals of th..
