The elements in the s-block have their last electrons in their electron configuration in the s-orbital.
Yes it is its the last leter in the electron configuration
Electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons in an atom. There are four blocks in the periodic table: S, P, D, F. Block S is groups 1 and 2. Block P is groups 13-18. Block D is groups 3-12. And block F is the lanthanides and actinides. There are several exceptions, for example He is considered part of S block even though it is over group 18. Here are some examples: He - 1S2 Al - 1S22S22P1 Ni - 1S22S22P63S23P64D8 Shorthand form uses the noble gases (group 18). Whatever element you are using, go to the closest noble gas. For example: Ca - [Ar] 4S2
Elements can be categorized into 4 differents blocks, s block, d block, p block and f block.
He has an electron configuration of s block. But because it has gained the noble gas configuration, it is located in the p block.
All of the representative elements (s and p block) have predictable electron configurations. However, many of the transition elements have electron configurations that are not predicted by the rules for determining electron configuration.
group 13 or IIIA
A block heater is not standard equipment.A block heater is not standard equipment.
The simple answer is that the s block can contain 2 electrons, the p block 6 electrons, the d block 10 electrons and the f block 14 electrons. Because of this, there are 14 different outer electron configurations and hence it spans 14 groups.
The halogens are is group VII (17), and thus they all have 7 valence electrons. These will be located in different energy levels for the different halogens, but since they are all also p-block elements, they will all have ns^2 np^5 electron configurations, where n is the period number. Examples: Cl will be [Ne] 3s^2 3p^5 and Br will be [Ar] [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p5 (note the inclusion of the d-block electrons for Br).
group 3- (n-1)d1 ns2. Group 12 (n-1)d10 ns2, groups 4-11 do not necessarily have identical outer electron configurations. Where n represents your period that you are in.
The p block elements are usually considered to include groups 13 14, 15, 16, 17, 18. Of these the non metals N and P from group 15, O, S, Se from group 16 and all of group 17 form anions which have noble gas configurations. The metals generally form cations, the highest oxidation state these have noble gas configurations but many exhibit a lower oxidation state as well. The metalloids can form anions but these do not follow simple valency rules.

100% yes but it is not a suggested practice. The purpose of a catch block in java code is to handle exceptions. If you want to throw exceptions, then there is no point in writing the try-catch block. We could throw the exception at the point where it occurs instead of writing the try - catch block to catch it and throw it again.
The outermost electron of copper is situated in d block. Therefor copper is a d block element.
Yes it is its the last leter in the electron configuration
