Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The elements in the long form of periodic table are classified into four blocks. They are s, p, d and f-block elements. The classification is based on the name of orbitals which receive the last electron. The elements in which the valence shell electron enters the s-orbital are called s-block elements.
