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.
The group of elements where electrons are added to the 4f orbitals is the lanthanides, which are found in the f-block of the periodic table. These elements range from lanthanum (La, atomic number 57) to lutetium (Lu, atomic number 71). As you move across this series, the 4f orbitals are progressively filled with electrons.
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.
because they have completely filled orbitals (or shells). hence generally are inert

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.
