What is the Difference between soft and hard metals?
it is a common observation that metals of group 1 i.e., li,na,k,rb,cs and group 2,be,mg,ca,sr,ba are soft.similarly the metals of p-block elements in lower parts of groups are also soft but harder than alkali and alkaline earth which are s-block. the metals of d-and f-block elements are called hard metals.
Why do 'd' block elements exhibit variable valencies?
The "d" block elements have electrons in a "d" in a lower shell than the valence electrons in the "s" orbital. These "d" electrons can be moved to the outer shell to give a metal a higher valence then the value of 2 that might otherwise be expected. Osmium can have a valence as high as 8. Additionally, the outer shell electrons can be moved from the "s" orbital down to the "d" orbital to give a metal a lower valence, perhaps the most notable case of this is silver which almost always forms a 1+ ion rather than 2+.

Difference between hanging wall and footwall?
In a non-vertical fault (where the fault plane dips), the footwall is the section of the fault that lies under the fault, while the hanging wall lies over the fault.The names come about from the mining industry because important ore minerals were commonly deposited along fault planes. In a mine along a fault, the miner would be standing on the block lower block and hanging his lantern from the upper block (hence, foot wall and hanging wall).In perfectly vertical faults, you cannot designate a footwall or a hanging wall.
