Question
Find the correlation:
Group 1 and 2 : s block : : group 13 and 18 : ______
Advertisements
Solution
Group 1 and 2 : s block : : group 13 and 18 : p Block
Explanation:
The modern periodic table is divided into blocks based on the orbital being filled by the valence electrons:
- s-block: Includes Groups 1 and 2, where the last electron enters the s-orbital.
- p-block: Includes Groups 13 to 18, where the last electron enters the p-orbital.
