Question
Which of the following statements related to the modern periodic table is incorrect?
- The p-block has 6 columns, because a maximum of 6 electrons can occupy all the orbitals in a p-subshell.
- The d-block has 8 columns, because a maximum of 8 electrons can occupy all the orbitals in a d-subshell.
- Each block contains a number of columns equal to the number of electrons that can occupy that subshell.
- The block indicates value of azimuthal quantum number for the last subshell that received electrons in building up the electronic configuration.
