Atomic Structure

The elements of groups 3-12 are placed in the periodic table, in the  D-Block segment, where the D-Orbitals eventually fill throughout each of the four long periods. In the central section of the periodic table, the D-Block is flanked by the s- and p-blocks. The elements of the D-Block are given the term ‘transition’ because […]

f- block elements consist of the 4f and 5f elements whose orbitals are constantly filled. The group 3 elements are the members of f block elements.  They consist of two series: lanthanides and actinides. Lanthanides resemble each other more than any other transition elements in the series because they contain only one oxidation state. The

Group 14 of the periodic table, also known as carbon group elements, comprises six elements. These elements are carbon (C ), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), lead (Pb) and flerovium (Fl). Other than germanium and flerovium (which is artificially produced), all these elements can be found in our daily lives.  These elements can be

The ionic compounds are usually present in the solid form, and their molecular force seems very strong. The molecules present in the ionic solids have been arranged in the 3-D grid-like structure known as the lattice structure. The energy required to separate one mole of the solid ionic compound into the constituent gaseous ions is

INTRODUCTION The ionic compounds are usually present in the solid form, and their molecular force seems very strong. The molecules present in the ionic solids have been arranged in the 3-D grid-like structure known as the lattice structure. The energy required to separate one mole of the solid ionic compound into the constituent gaseous ions

The s- block elements of the periodic table are the ones in which the last electron enters the outermost s orbital. As this particular orbital can accommodate only two electrons, two groups (1 and 2) belong to the s- block itself. Group 1 consists of elements like sodium, potassium, lithium, rubidium, francium, and caesium. These

The term”Aufbau” comes from the German word “aufbauen”, which means to make up or build. The Aufbau principle describes a model-structure approach in which electrons are traditionally added to an atom. When electrons are introduced, they take the shells that are the most stable in relation to the nucleus and the electrons formerly present. We
