Identify the correct set for p - block elements.

Question

Question

Answer 1

Explanation:-

P-Block Elements - The atoms of the elements of which the last electron from their outer shell inters p- subshell is called P-block elements.
The general electronic configuration of P-block elements is nS²nP^1-6.
From Group 13 to Group 18 in the periodic table are P- Block Elements.
P-Block elements have some common names according to their Group. Group 13 (Icosagens), Group 14 (Carbon Family), Group 15 (Pnictogens), Group 16 (Chalcogens), Group 17 (Halogens), Group 18 ( Noble Gases).
It is interesting to note that the non-metals and metalloids exist only in the p-block of the periodic table.
The non-metallic character of elements decreases down the group.
In fact, the heaviest element in each p-block group is the most metallic in nature

.

Group	13	14	15	16	17	18
General electronic configuration	ns²np¹	ns²np²	ns²np³	ns²np⁴	ns²np⁵	ns²np⁶
First member of the group	B	C	N	O	F	He
Group oxidation state	+3	+4	+5	+6	+7	+8
Other oxidation states	+1	+2, -4	+3, -3	+4, +2, -2	+5, +3, +1, -1	+6, +4, +2

Additional Information

a) D- block Elements - They are commonly known as Transition Metals.

b) S- block Elements - Group 1 (Alkali metals) and Group 2 (Alkaline Earth Metals) of the periodic table are called S- block elements.

c) F- block Elements - They are commonly known as Inner- Transition Metals.
