Into what four blocks can the periodic table be divided to illustrate the ralationship between the elements' elecron configurations and their placement in the periodic table?

Answer 1

Into the SPDF blocks.

so groups 1 and 2 are S

Groups 3-12 are D

Groups 13-18 are P (except He, He is 2s)

and the lanthanides and actinides are F

Answer 2

The Periodic Table can be divided into s-block, p-block, d-block, and f-block. These blocks correspond to the elements' electron configurations and help organize the elements based on their outermost electron shells. The s-block includes groups 1 and 2, the p-block includes groups 13-18, the d-block includes groups 3-12, and the f-block includes the lanthanides and actinides.
