the's block elements introduction

Introduction - The p-block contains several elements of great social and economic importance as well as chemical interest. Examples include the use of aluminium as a structural material, the importance of silicon and germanium as semiconductors, and the use of sulphur,..

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 ..

Introduction - The long form of the periodic table is based upon the filling of a particular shell and has been accordingly divided into four blocks i.e. 's', 'p', 'd' and 'f' blocks. The 's' block elements involve the filling of 's' subshell. This ..

The long form of the periodic table is based upon the filling of a particular shell and has been accordingly divided into four blocks i.e. 's', 'p', 'd' and 'f' blocks. The 's' block elements involve the filling of 's' subshell. This bloc..

The 'f' block elements are those, which in their elemental or ionic forms have partially filled 'f' orbitals. The differentiating (last) electron enters 'f' orbitals, which lie inner to the second outermost (penultimate) shell. Thus these elements ..

'p' block elements are those in which the outer electronic configuration is of the type ns 2 np 1 to ns 2 np 6 and where the last electron enters into any of the outermost 'p' orbitals. These elements belong to groups 13 to 18 of the long form of periodic table an..

Group 17 of the periodic table contains the elements fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine. These elements are collectively known as the HALOGENS. This name is derived from two Greek words Halo and Gens meaning 'salt producing'. Halogens are among the most react..

Knowing the electronic configuration, one can predict the period, which corresponds to the principal quantum number of the valence shell. The block of the element corresponds to the sub shell, which receives the last electron. The position of an element in the long fo..
