Define the terms s- block elements and p- Block elements. |
|
Answer» s- block elements: Group-1 (Alkali metals) and Group-2 elements (Alkaline earth metals) which respectively have ns1 and ns2 outermost electronic configurations. p- Block elements: They belongs to group- 13 to 18. The outer most electronic configuration is ns2 np1 -6 . He (1s2) is a s- block element but is positioned with the group 18 elements (ns2 np6) because it has completely filled valence shell and as a result, exhibits properties characteristic of other noble gases. |
