Correct answer: B. s and p block elements

  • A. lanthanides & actinides
  • B. s and p block elements
  • C. chalcogens and halogens
  • D. d and f block elements

Explanation

The d-block transition elements are positioned between the s-block elements on the left and the p-block elements on the right of the periodic table. Students may choose d and f blocks because both contain transition-related elements, but the d-block is specifically located between the s and p blocks.

About Blocks of the Periodic Table

Electron configurations divide elements into s, p, d and f blocks according to the subshell receiving the last electron. Work includes the positions, valence-shell configurations and general properties of s-block and p-block elements, along with periodic trends in atomic size, ionisation energy, electron affinity and electronegativity.
