If Aufbau rule is not followed in filling of the sub-shells, then the block of which will change in the periodic table?

Correct answer: A. K (19)

  • A. K (19)
  • B. V (23)
  • C. Ti(22)
  • D. Ni (28)

Explanation

According to Aufbau's principle the elcetrons should be filled itno the orbitals according to increasing energy levels. In K electrons first fill into 4s then 3d. Not obeying this rule will change K's block from s to d.

About Atomic Structure

Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
