Electron Configuration and Periodic Table Blocks
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The periodic table's s, p, d, and f blocks group elements whose highest-energy electron, added last by Aufbau, occupies that subshell type.
Show
Aluminum sits in the p block because its last-added electron occupies a 3p orbital, matching [Ne]3s²3p¹.
Watch for
An element's block is set by which subshell its Aufbau-added electron enters, not by which subshells appear anywhere in its full configuration.
