Question
Which of the following statements related to the modern periodic table is incorrect?
Options
The p-block has 6 columns because a maximum of 6 electrons can occupy all the orbitals in a p-shell.
The d-block has 8 columns because a maximum of 8 electrons can occupy all the orbitals in a d-subshell.
Each block contains a number of columns equal to the number of electrons that can occupy that subshell.
The block indicates the value of azimuthal quantum number (l) for the last subshell that received electrons in building up the electronic configuration.

Solution
The d-block has 8 columns because a maximum of 8 electrons can occupy all the orbitals in a d-subshell.
Explanation:
The d-block has 10 columns because a maximum of 10 electrons can occupy all the orbitals in a d-subshell.
