The important advantages of the modern periodic table are given below : This classification is based on the atomic number which is a more fundamental property of the elements. Since this classification is based on the atomic number and not on the atomic mass, the...

In addition to classifying the elements into s block, p block, d block and f block, the elements can be classified in three categories on the basis of their properties as: (1) Metals (2) Non-metals and (3) Metalloids. Position of Metals on the Periodic Table Metals...

The elements in which the last electron enters the f-orbitals of their atoms are called f-block elements. These consist of two series of elements placed at the bottom of the periodic table. Lanthanoids or Lanthanides or rare earth metals: The first series follows...

The elements in which the last electron enters the d-orbitals of their last but one (called penultimate energy level) constitute d-block elements. This block consists of the elements lying between s and p blocks starting from fourth period and onwards. They constitute...

The elements in which the last electron enters the p-orbital of their outermost energy level are called p block elements. The elements of groups 13 to 18 involving addition of one (ns2 np1), two (ns2 np2), three (ns2 np3), four (ns2 np4), five (ns2 np5), and six (ns2...

All the existing elements in the modern periodic table is divided into four main segments or blocks. A block consists of groups of elements having similar electronic configurations and properties. These are called s block, p block, d block and f-block. S block...
