List 1 List II
(Atomic number of element) (Block to which the element belongs)

Explanation

Solution

We know that in the periodic table there are several elements present. We can classify these elements as metals, non-metals, and metalloids. We can find the metals in the extreme right side of the periodic table, the non-metals are found in the left side of the periodic table and a thin line separates certain nonmetals and metalloids.

Complete answer:
We are given with table below,

List 1List 2
2424P
3838F
4949S
5959D

We are provided with two columns in the table given. In the table, the first column contains the atomic number of elements and the second column contains blocks in which the elements are found.
We know that in the periodic table, there are four blocks and these blocks are classified as s, p, d, and f blocks. We have to know that the alkali and alkali earth metals are found in the s-block of the periodic table, the p-block contains the non-metals and the d-block contains transition metals, and the f-block has actinides and lanthanides.
So, now we shall identify the elements from their atomic number.
The given atomic number is 2424 . From the periodic table, we have identified the element which has atomic number 2424 as chromium. Chromium is a transition metal. Transition metals are found in d-block. So, the atomic number 2424 belongs to d-block.
The given atomic number is 3838 . From the periodic table, we have identified the element which has atomic number 3838 as strontium. Strontium is an alkaline earth metal. Alkaline earth metals are found in s-block. So, atomic number 38 belongs to s-block.
The given atomic number is 4949 . From the periodic table, we have identified the element which has atomic number 4949 as indium. Indium is a non-metal. Non-metals are found in p-block. So, the atomic number 4949 belongs to p-block.
The given atomic number is 5959 . From the periodic table, we have identified the element which has atomic number 5959 as praseodymium. Praseodymium is a lanthanide. Lanthanides are found in p-block. So, the atomic number 5959 belongs to f-block.
We can give matched table as,

List 1List 2
2424P
3838F
4949S
5959D

Note:
We can find the elements of s-block on the left side of the periodic table, the right-side of the periodic table will have the elements of p-block. Transition metals come under the d-block of the periodic table and f-block elements have inner transition metals. D-block elements will be found in the middle of the periodic table and f-block elements will be found in the bottom of the periodic table.
