Worked practice questions

The d-block of the periodic table holds the groups:

  1. 3 to 12
  2. 1 and 2
  3. 13 to 18
  4. 4 and 5
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. 3 to 12

1. The d-block sits between the s-block and the p-block. 2. Its d orbitals fill progressively across each long period. 3. It runs from group 3 through group 12. _Source: syllabus Chemistry Part I, Chapter 8, The d- and f-Block Elements._

The f-block elements are shown in a separate panel at the:

  1. Far left
  2. Bottom
  3. Top left
  4. Top right
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Bottom

1. The f-block would stretch the table very wide if set inline. 2. It is therefore lifted out and shown apart. 3. That panel sits at the bottom of the periodic table. _Source: syllabus Chemistry Part I, Chapter 8, The d- and f-Block Elements._

  4. Halogen family
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Transition metals

1. Each block carries a familiar name besides its letter. 2. The d-block elements are the ones in the middle. 3. They are called the transition metals. _Source: syllabus Chemistry Part I, Chapter 8, The d- and f-Block Elements._
