Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 11th Chemistry - Chapter Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Exercise 1, Question 34: which of the following statements related to the m....
Question 34

Which of the following statements related to the modern periodic table is incorrect?
(a) The p-block has 6 columns, because a maximum of 6 electrons can occupy all the orbitals in a p-shell.
(b) The d-block has 8 columns, because a maximum of 8 electrons can occupy all the orbitals in a d-subshell.
(c) Each block contains a number of columns equal to the number of electrons that can occupy that subshell.
(d) The block indicates value of azimuthal quantum number (l ) for the last subshell that received electrons in building up the electronic configuration.

Answer

(b) The d-block has 8 columns, because a maximum of 8 electrons can occupy all the orbitals in a d-subshell.

Option (b) is incorrect because the d-block has 10 columns  and maximum of 10 electrons can occupy all the orbitals in a d subshell. Since d sub shell can have a maximum of 5 orbitals amd 10 electrons, therefore, there are 10 vertical columns in d block.
