Question

9. Write any two differences between p-block and d-block
elements.​

Answer 1

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

p block elements are elements whose outermost orbitals are p orbitals while d block elements are elements whose outermost orbitals are d orbitals.

d block elements form many coloured compounds unlike p block elements. This is as a result of d-d transitions or metal-to-ligand charge transfer in compounds of d-block elements.

d block elements exhibit a greater degree of variable oxidation state unlike p block elements which has only a few or limited available oxidation states.
