What does the blocks represent?

For the elements in the s-block, the valence electrons are filled in the s orbital.


How do you count the valence electrons of an atom?

Take the atomic number then subtract the amount of valence electrons. Example: Number of non valence (inner) electrons in Sulfur: 16 (atomic number) - 6 (valence electrons) = 10 (valence or inner electrons)


Are atoms are the building blocks of elements?

NO. The atoms are the elements themselves. The building blocks of the atom are Protons, Neutrons and Electrons.


How are the number of valence electrons related to the group number?

In s and p blocks the number of valence electrons in an element is the same number of the group which that element belongs to. Hope this helps....


What is the definition of block in periodic table?

In the periodic table elements having valence electrons in the same orbital are said to be placed in the same block.There are four blocks in the periodic table s, p, d and f.


What is the building blocks of particles of elements and what is their structure?

Elements are made of atoms. Atoms are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons.


What are the trends in the valency of the periodic table?

The trend for the valence electron(s) is mostly significant to the the elements in s and p blocks. In other words groups 1-2 and 13-18 in the modern periodic table. The first four aforementioned groups have 1, 2, 3 and 4 electrons which can be shared with an other atom. The elements in groups 15, 16 and 17 are tend to obtain electrons from other elements 3, 2 and 1 respectively. The group 18 elements are naturally inert because they do not have valence electrons.


What if atoms were unable to gain electrons?

If atoms didn't have electrons then you wouldn't be asking this question. No electrons means no elements, no elements mean no building blocks for life or basically anything, no anything means nothing. we'd all die.


Elements on the right side of the periodic table with electron sequentially filling the p orbital of their valence shells are collectively known as the what blocks elements?

p-block :D Plato students...!!


What are the 4 main groups on the periodic table?

S block elements- valence electrons are filling the s orbitals D block elements- valence electrons are filling the d orbitals P block elements- valence electrons are filling the p orbitals F block elements- valence electrons are filling the f orbitals


Why are the elements in groups 1A-8A called the representative elements?

They follow a pattern for valence electrons.


What are the distinct building blocks of matter?

In Chemistry, the building blocks of all matter are atoms. An atom cannot be chemically subdivided. Atoms are composed of protons, electrons, and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of the atom. Protons are positively (+) charged, while neutrons have no charge (are neutral). Electrons orbit around the nucleus on shells. The electrons are negatively charged. Protons and neutrons are responsible for the Atomic Mass while electrons will always be the same as the number of protons, which will give you the atom's atomic number.
