Question

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

Answer 1

The general outer electronic configuration of s block elements is $n{s}^{(1-2)}$.The general outer electronic configuration of p block elements is $n{s}^{2}n{p}^{(1-6)}$.The general outer electronic configuration of d block elements is $(n-1)d^{(1-10)}n{s}^{(0-2)}$.The general outer electronic configuration of f− block elements is $(n-2)f^{(0-14)}(n-1)d^{(0-1)}n{s}^2$.
