The p-block on the Periodic Table is the chunk of mostly nonmetals starting at group 13 that ends at the Noble gases on the far right side.
An element's electron configuration determines its location (group) in the periodic table. It tells us how many valence electrons (s and p sublevel).
In the fifth period of the periodic table, the atoms of the elements in the first two groups are adding 1 and 2 electrons, respectively, to their highest energy 5s sublevel. Starting in group 3/IIIB and going through group 12/IIB, the atoms of those elements are adding electrons to their highest energy 4d sublevel. Since the d sublevel can contain a maxium of 10 electrons, there are 10 elements whose atoms are filling the 4d sublevel. Once the 4d sublevel is filled, the next higher energy sublevel is the 5p sublevel. Starting with the group 13/IIIA elements, the 5p sublevel is being filled. Since a p sublevel can contain a maximum of 6 electrons, there are six elements whose atoms are filling the 5p sublevel. 5s sublevel filling: 2 elements 4d sublevel filling: 10 elements 5p sublevel filling: 6 elements --------------------------------------- Total: 18 elements For a printable periodic table that includes electron configurations, go to the following link: http://www.nist.gov/pml/data/periodic.cfm
P (not lower case p) in the periodic table stands for PHOSPHOROUS
Most scientists describe a "transition metal" as any element in the d-block of the periodic table, which includes groups 3 to 12 on the periodic table. The f-block 'lanthanide and actinide' series are also considered transition metals and are called "inner transition metals".
A horizontal row of blocks in the periodic table is referred to as a period. The sublevels in a period that contain 32 elements are s, p, d and f.
The p-block is just a part of the periodic table, from Group13 to Group 18. (13,14,15,16,17,18)The periodic table has four blocks: s-block, d-block, p-block, and f-block.I will add a link so you can visualize this...The p-block is called like that because the p sublevel of its atoms is being filled with electrons.P.S. The s sublevel fills completely with 2electrons.The p sublevel fills completely with 6electrons.The d sublevel fills completely with 10electrons.The f sublevel fills completely with 14electrons.

There is no group p on the periodic table.

Because in the first period, only the first energy level is being filled with electrons, which can take only a maximum of 2 electrons in the s sublevel. The electron configuration of hydrogen is 1s1 and helium is 1s2. There is no p sublevel in the first energy level.
You would have to determine the electron configuration for atoms of a given element. Each s sublevel contains 1 orbital, each p sublevel contains 3 orbitals, each d sublevel contain 5 orbitals, and each f sublevel contains 7 orbitals.

The Zinc Family also known as group IIB is the second least reactive I believe. The least reactive family is the one with a full p sublevel, the noble gases, the next least reactive would be the family with a full d sublevel. Since group IIB has a full d sublevel, it must be the next least reactive family.
