THE p -BLOCK ELEMENTS - NCERT

← Back to document page

THE p-BLOCK ELEMENTS In p-block elements the last electron enters the outermost p orbital. As we know that the number of p orbitals is three and, therefore, the maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in a set of p orbitals is six. Consequently there are six groups of p–block elements in the periodic table numbering from 13 to 18.
