The elements in column 14 of a wide form Periodic Table.
The valence electrons in main group elements are typically found in the s and p orbitals. Group 1 and 2 elements have valence electrons in s orbitals, while groups 13-18 elements have valence electrons in both s and p orbitals.
Elements with full s and p orbitals in their highest electron shell are the noble, or inert, gases of the last column on the periodic table: He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn.
Block d contains transition metals, which include elements from group 3 to group 12 on the periodic table. These elements have partially filled d orbitals and exhibit similar chemical properties.
Localized orbitals are wavefunctions that describe the electron distribution around a specific atom or group of atoms in a molecule. They are often used to understand chemical bonding and reactivity at a more detailed level compared to delocalized molecular orbitals. Examples of localized orbitals include atomic orbitals and hybrid orbitals.
These elements, known as the alkali metals (group 1A) and alkaline earth metals (group 2A), are those in which the outer-shell s orbitals are being filled. On the right is a block of six columns. These are the elements in which the outermost p orbitals are being filled.
The valence electrons in main group elements are typically found in the s and p orbitals. Group 1 and 2 elements have valence electrons in s orbitals, while groups 13-18 elements have valence electrons in both s and p orbitals.
The elements of group 18 are known as inert because they havecompletelyfilled atomic orbitals.
Elements with full s and p orbitals in their highest electron shell are the noble, or inert, gases of the last column on the periodic table: He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn.
Completely filled s orbital is more stable than half filled s orbitals and it is difficult to remove electrons from the former due to extra stibility. Group IIA elements (or alkaline earth metals) have completely filled s orbitals, whereas group IA elements have half filled s orbitals.
Block d contains transition metals, which include elements from group 3 to group 12 on the periodic table. These elements have partially filled d orbitals and exhibit similar chemical properties.
because they have completely filled orbitals (or shells). hence generally are inert

Group I elements (that is alkali metals)
Because helium has completely filled orbitals as do all the elements in the last column (group 18 elements or noble gases).
Group 1 elements followed by group 2 elements.
The d-block elements have similar periodic properties to main group elements but exhibit greater variability due to the presence of partially filled d-orbitals. Additionally, d-block elements have higher atomic and ionic sizes, higher ionization energies, and form colored compounds compared to main group elements. The d-block elements also show a wider range of oxidation states and complex formation due to their partially filled d-orbitals.
