Periodic Table trends
Hey guys, I'm not quite grasping the point of the differentiation between the s-block p-block and d-block. Thanks!

Re: Periodic Table trends
These all correlate to the quantum number of l. This is simply how they are shown on the periodic table. The connection between the two is seen!

Re: Periodic Table trends
The s-, p-, d-, and f- orbitals designate the shapes of the mathematical functions predicting the locations of electrons in atoms. The s- orbital has a spherical shape with no nodal planes and symmetric distribution, the p-orbital has two lobes on either side of the nucleus, d- orbital has three 4-lobed shapes, 1 with electrons along the XY axis and 1 with electrons located along the Z axis and donut in the XY plane, and the f- orbital has 7 more complicated shapes.

Re: Periodic Table trends
The biggest difference is their shape and their ability to hold e-. The s-orbital can only hold 2 e-. The p-orbital can only only 6 e-. The d-orbital can only hold 10 e-. The f-block can hold 14 e-. In the ground state of an atom, the electrons must fill up all spots in lower energy levels before moving up in energy levels

The idea that electrons of an atom in the ground state must fill up all spots in lower energy levels before before moving up in energy levels is called the Aufbau principle.

Re: Periodic Table trends
s-, p-, d-, and f-orbitals all basically coordinate based on the number of nodal planes, the number of electrons that they can hold, and their shape. If you search up a periodic table with the blocks in place, you can see how the electrons fill out the orbitals based on its levels, and so forth.

Thanks Amy, that put it very well!

Not quite sure I understand l yet but thats a good piece of advice thank you.

Re: Periodic Table trends
The s, p, and d block are each regions of the periodic table. The block an element belongs to determines the outermost orbital of an atom.
