p-block
Elements on the right side of the periodic table with electrons sequentially filling the p orbitals of their valence shells are collectively known as the p-block elements. These elements include groups 13 to 18 (IIIA to VIIIA) on the periodic table.
Electrons are added to the 4f orbitals from the 5d orbitals in the lanthanide and actinide series of elements. The 4f orbitals are filled after the 5d orbitals are filled due to the overlap in energy levels, leading to the stability of the 4f electrons in these elements.
Orbitals don't contain elements. The elements each have specific orbitals based on the number of electrons it has. All of the elements have at least one s orbital. Hydrogen being the simplest element has one electron in the 1s orbital. The s orbital can contain a maximum of 2 electrons.
The elements that have eight electrons in their outer orbitals are the noble gases, specifically helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. These elements have a full valence shell, giving them stability and making them less likely to form chemical bonds.
There are ten elements in each transition series of the periodic table because each series corresponds to the filling of the d-orbitals, which can hold a maximum of ten electrons. The transition metals are defined by the presence of electrons in these d-orbitals, and the elements in each series represent the sequential addition of electrons to these orbitals. Consequently, each transition series encompasses ten elements, from scandium (Sc) to zinc (Zn) in the first series, for example.

The elements on the right side of the periodic table with electrons sequentially filling orbitals in their valence are known as the "p-block elements". These elements include groups 13 to 18 on the 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.
Electrons are added to the 4f orbitals from the 5d orbitals in the lanthanide and actinide series of elements. The 4f orbitals are filled after the 5d orbitals are filled due to the overlap in energy levels, leading to the stability of the 4f electrons in these elements.
period contain elements with electrons in s p d and f orbitals
In theory all elements have all the orbitals. Zinc has electrons in four of them.
If the valence electrons are being added to the 4f orbitals, that means the element is lanthanides or actinides which further proves that the element is a heavy element and a member of f -block.
All atoms of all elements have electrons in the electron cloud (better known as orbitals). The concept of orbits (electrons moving in fixed paths) is now replaced by orbitals.
The 3rd shell can contain 18 electrons. The elements that have a 3rd shell as the outer shell are the the elements in period 3, where the 3s and 3p orbitals are filled to a maximum of 8 electrons. The 3d orbitals are filled in the 4th period in the transition elements.

These elements to transition metals. The electrons are filled in the d-orbitals. Most of the elements have unpaired electrons and hence are paramagnetic.
