Question

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

Answer 1

The general outer electronic configuration of s block elements is ns⁽¹⁻²⁾. The general outer electronic configuration of p block elements is ns²np⁽¹⁻⁶⁾. The general outer electronic configuration of d block elements is (n−1)d⁽¹⁻¹⁰⁾ns⁽⁰⁻²⁾. The general outer electronic configuration of  f− block elements is (n−2)f⁽⁰⁻¹⁴⁾(n−1)d⁽⁰⁻¹⁾ns².
