∙ 10y agoThe first row of f-block elements, corresponding to filling of the 4f orbital, are collectively called lanthanoids. A few years ago the standard name was lanthanides, and a few chemists were calling them lanthanons.
The second row of f-block elements, corresponding more roughly to filling of the 5f orbital are collectively called actinoids (with actinides and actinons lurking in the background).
The element Th -- thorium -- is not really an actinoid, since it has a d2s2 configuration, and chemistry more akin to that of Zr and Hf than to the other actinoids, but it is usually included in the actinoids for the sake of symmetry and convenience.

How many orbitals are in the f block in the elements chart?
There are 7 orbitals in the F-block
What block are the transition metals found in?
The inner transition metals belong to the f block on the periodic table. Examples of f block elements are cerium, gadolinium, terbium and lutetium.
What are the properties of 'f ' block elements?
they are of two types lanthanides and actinides
Why are f block elements are placed at the bottom of the periodic table?
Just for the size of the periodic table; with it in, it would almost double in length.
Why periodic table is divided in s p d and f block elements?
The s, p, d, f block realte to the filling of the outer shell orbitals. Group 1 and 2 are the s block. Groups 13-18 the p block, the transition metals the d block and the lanthanides and actinides the f block.
The f-block elements in period 7 are known as?
The f-block elements in period 7 are known as the actinides.
How many orbitals are in the f block in the elements chart?
There are 7 orbitals in the F-block
How many elements fit into each of the four blocks of the periodic table?
4: the s-block, the p-block, the d-block, and the f-block. there is an theoratical g-block but its not counted because its theoratical lol.
Why d and f block aliments called transition elements?
Transition elements may be defined as those elements which have partialy filled d and f subshells in atomic state so d and f block elements called transition elements.
Is f and d the center and bottom blocks of the periodic table?
D block elements are at the center of the periodic table; f block elements are at the bottom.
What are the f block elements known as?
inner transistion elements or rare earth elements
What do the lanthanide and actinides all have in common?
They are F-block elements
Elements can be categorized into how many blocks based on their number of electron orbitals?
Elements can be categorized into 4 differents blocks, s block, d block, p block and f block.
Is zinc a base metal?
Yes. It is a metal. In periodic table all the elements in s block (except hydrogen), d block and f block elements are classified as metals. And if you precisely ask if it is a base metal, you have to mention the alloy name. i
What group has the most elements on the periodic table?
Group III-B or 4th, it includes 4 elements of 'd' block and all the 28 elements of 'f' block.
What elements in the periodic table that are separated with greatest difficulty?
noble gases or f-block elements
Is thorium belonged to f block elements?
Yes, thorium is a member of the group of f blockelements.
