Question
What are p-block elements?
✓
Answer
Elements in which the differentiating electron (the last filling electron) enters the outermost p orbital are p-block elements.
Since maximum six electrons can be accommodated in p-subshell i.e., three p-orbitals, the p-block contains six groups numbered from 13 to 18 in the modem periodic table.
The p-block elements show greater variation in the properties than s-block elements.
