Elements in which the last electron enters any one of the five d orbitals of their respective penultimate shells are called d- block element. Since a d sub shell has 5 d-orbitals, each one of which can accommodate 2 electrons ,therefore, in all there are 10 vertical columns comprising 10 groups of d- block elements namely 3, 4 ,5 ,6 ,7 ,8 ,9 ,10 ,11 and The atoms of the elements belonging to these groups usually have 1 or 2 electrons in the s orbital of the outermost shell i.
General outer shell electronic configuration of d block elements: n-1 d ns The properties of these elements are midway between those of s- block and p- block elements ,they are also called transition elements.
All these elements are further divided into four series called 1st ,2nd ,3rd and 4th transition series. The first transition series forms a part of the fourth period of the long form of periodic table. The third transition series which form a part of the sixth period also contains 10 elements i.
The fourth transition series which forms a part of 7th period also contains 10 elements i. In all these elements 6d orbitals are being successively filled in. The elements of group 3 ,4 ,5 ,6 ,7 ,8 ,9 ,10 ,11 and 12 belonging to 4th 5th 6th and 7th period in which the last electron enters the d orbital of their respective penultimate shells are called d Block Elements. There are 40 d block elements in the periodic table. General characteristics of d-block elements.
The elements in which the last electron enters any one of the 7 f-orbitals of their respective ante -penultimate shell are called f block elements. In all these element the s orbital of last shell is completely filled ,the d orbital of the penultimate n-1 shell invariably contains 0 or one electron but the f orbital of the ante-penultimate n-2 gets progressively filled in. General outer shell electronic configuration of f block elements: n-2 f n-1 d ns 2.
There are two series of f block elements each containing 14 elements. These are placed at the bottom of the periodic table. The elements of the first series i. These are also called rare Earth elements since they occur scarcely in the earth crust. In lanthanides ,4f orbitals are been progressively filled in.

The valence electrons occupy p orbitals i. This block has metals e. So according to the electronic configurations given above, there can be 3 to 8 electrons in the outer shell of these elements.
Group 3 : 3 valence electrons Group 4 : 2 to 4 valence electrons Group 5 : 2 to 5 valence electrons Group 6 : 2 to 6 valence electrons Group 7 : 2 to 7 valence electrons Group 8 : 2 or 3 valence electrons Group 9 : 2 or 3 valence electrons Group 10 : 2 or 3 valence electrons Group 11 : 1 or 2 valence electrons Group 12 : 2 valence electrons These elements have thus have variable oxidation states. All actinides are radioactive.
The general outer electronic configuration of Actinides is 5f 6d 7s 2 This post is an overview of the various types of elements in the periodic table. We have separated hydrogen H and helium He from the other main group elements. Period 1 1 H hydrogen 1. There is a distinct pattern to the location of the s, p, d and f blocks, which is directly related to the Groups of the Periodic Table :.
Block Groups s block Group 1 alkali metals and Group 2 alkaline earth metals plus Period 1 hydrogen and helium d block Groups 3 to 12 transition metals p block Groups 13 to 18 includes all Noble Gases, halogens and chalcogens f block Lanthanoids and Actinoids. The labels s, p, d and f blocks of the Periodic Table refer to the subshell that is being filled with electrons.
The highest energy level valence shell contains only 1 electron in an s subshell. The highest energy level valence shell contains 2 electrons, both electrons occupy an s subshell.
