3. Subatomic Structure of p-Block Elements
In this section, we delve into the electronic configuration of p-block elements. We introduce the concept of p-orbitals and their associated np-sublevels. The Aufbau principle and Hund’s rule guide the filling of these orbitals, determining the specific electron configurations of p-block elements. Understanding this electronic structure is crucial for comprehending the chemical behavior and applications of these elements.
