Physics

Activity In this activity, you will explore the relationship between element groups and their electron configurations.
For this activity, you'll use the Periodic Table tool e.
Find the Blocks controls above the table and click the letters s, p, d, and f. This view is similar to the one you saw in the lesson that relates electron
structure to periodic table groups. The highlighted table sections are called the s, p, d, and f blocks, corresponding to s, p, d, and felectron
orbitals.
Let's dig into the specifics to see how electron configuration relates to periodic table groups and periods.
Part A
Click Clear Filters, to get started. Then look at the Quick Facts display for the noble gas elements (group 18, on the right): helium, neon, etc. Look
specifically at their electron configurations. What is the same about each of these elements? Why do you think we put these elements in the p
block?
