Best Answer

The d block is an orbital. The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are the energy levels, and the orbitals are the subsections of these (s, p, d, f).

Hope this is a good enough answer!

The d orbital is the orbital that only applies to the 3rd orbital and up and it contains 10 electrons.

What is typical transition metal?

Typical transition elements are those elements in which d orbital is in the process of completion.d orbital can occupy 10 electrons. if in any element d orbital contain less than 10 electron it means it has incomplete d orbital and d orbital is in the process of completion. for example Sc has electronic configuration 3d1 4s2. it has 1 e in d orbital. so Sc is typical transition elements.

Does phosphorus have access to a d orbital?

Yes, phosphorous (and sulfur) have access to a d orbital. It's a bit weird (as is most chemistry), in the ground state phosphorous does not have any d orbital electrons, however, d orbital hybridization is used to explain why phosphorous can form more than the "octet" number of bonds, such as PCl5. This d orbital is also used when describing phosphorous as a pi-acceptor ligand, and the reason it can be considered a pi-acceptor ligand is because it does have access to that d orbital, which can accept the metal's e- density. Hope that helped.
