Question

Write the general outer electronic configuration of $s-, p-, d-$ and $f-$ block elements.

Answer 1

**Element ** **General outer electronic configuration **
$s-block$ $ns ^{1-2}$ , where $n = 2 - 7$
$p-block$ $ns^ 2np^{1-6}$ , where $n = 2 - 6$
$d-block$ $(n-1) d^{1-10} ns^{ 0-2}$ , where $n = 4 - 7$
$f-block$ $(n-2)f ^{1-14}(n-1)d^{0-10}ns ^2$ , where $n = 6 - 7$
