Study Notes
Periodic Table Blocks
- The d-block of the periodic table consists of elements from groups 3-12.
- In the d-block, d orbitals are progressively filled in each of the four long periods.
f-block Elements
- The f-block consists of elements in which 4f and 5f orbitals are progressively filled.
- The f-block elements are placed in a separate panel at the bottom of the periodic table.
Metal Classification
- The elements of the d-block are often referred to as transition metals.
- The elements of the f-block are often referred to as inner transition metals.
Explore the elements in the d-block and f-block of the periodic table, with a focus on the progressive filling of d and f orbitals. Learn about transition metals and inner transition metals in these blocks placed within the periodic table.
