Study Notes
p-block Elements
- The last electrons in p-block elements enter the p orbitals.
- There are six groups of p-block elements in the periodic table.
- A set of p orbitals can accommodate a maximum of six electrons.
- The physical and chemical properties of elements in a group of p-block are greatly influenced by the number of electrons in the outermost energy level.
- The elements that head the groups of p-block elements are the noble gases.
- The maximum oxidation state shown by a p-block element depends on the number of electrons in the outermost energy level.
- The +3 oxidation state becomes progressively more stable for the heavier elements in each group of boron, carbon, and nitrogen families.
