Element General outer electronic configuration
s–block
ns1–2, where n = 2 – 7
p–block
ns2np1–6, where n = 2 – 6
d–block
(n–1) d1–10 ns0–2, where n = 4 – 7
f–block...
(i) Since n = 3, the element belongs to the 3rd period. It is a p–block element since the last electron occupies the p–orbital.
There are four electrons in the p–orbital....
(a) Let the equilibrium of the test charge be stable. If a test charge is in equilibrium and displaced from its position in any direction, then it experiences a restoring...
