s-block: groups 1 and 2 p-block: groups 13 - 18 d-block: groups 3 - 12 f-block: lanthanides and actinides
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.
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.
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
Omitting the f-block elements, there are 18 groups in the periodic table. Groups 1 and 2 contain s-block elements. Groups 3-12 contain d-block elements and groups 13-18 are made out of p-block elements. The only exception is helium is named under group 18, being a noble gas.
The d level has 5 sub-levels of orbitals and each carries two electrons so 5 x 2 = 10 maximum electrons. The f level has 7 sub-levels of orbitals and can thus hold 14 electrons total. So each electron added would be another element. Hence, the f-block has 14 different elements.
Yes,Eu is a f-block element.It belongs to group of lanthanoids.
They are called the S Block, P Block, D Block and F Block, historically Sharp, Principal, Diffuse and Fundemental.Group I and II, including H and He is part of SThe transitionals are part of DGroup III, IV, V, VI, VII and VIII are part of PThe chunk at the bottom is F
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.
There are 7 orbitals in the F-block

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
