PERIODIC TABLE
Group number = number of valence electrons (if the element is in block s and d)
• All the elements in the Periodic Table can be classified into 4 main
blocks according to their valence electrons configuration.
• These main blocks are
o S block (outermost electrons in s orbitals)
o P block. (outermost electrons in s and p orbitals)
o d block. (outermost electrons in s and d orbitals)
o f block. (outermost electrons in f orbitals)
S- BLOCK
• Group 1 and 2
• The filling of valence electrons involve the s orbital
• Configuration of the valence electrons :
• Eg:
11 Na : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1
20 Ca : 1s 2
2s 2
2p6
3s 2
3p6
4s2
P-BLOCK
• Group 13 to 18
• The filling of valence electrons involve s and p orbital.
• The configuration of valence electrons:
52Te : 1s 2
2s 2
2p 6
3s 2
3p 6
3d 10
4s 2
4p 6
4d 10
5s 2
5p 4
D-BLOCK
• Groups 3 to 12
• The filling of valence electrons involve s and d orbitals.
• Group 3 to 11 known as Transition metal.
• Configuration of valence electron :
(n-1) d1 ns2 to (n-1) d10 ns2
• Eg.
23V : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d3 4s2 or [Ar] 3d3 4s2
where [Ar] = 18 electrons

The positions of the elements X, Y and Z in the periodic table areas follows.
• When electrons are removed from the valence shell, the electron-
electron repulsions decrease but the nuclear charge remains the
same.
• So the remaining electrons are to be pulled closer together around
the nucleus.
• Therefore, positive ions (cations) are smaller than the atoms from
which they are formed.
