1. Elements in column 14, the second column of the p-block, have two p-orbital electrons . 2. Elements in column 13, the first column of the p-block, have one p-orbital electron . 3. X-rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, with photon energies above those of orbital electrons . 4. The trend continues this way until we reach column 18, which has six p-orbital electrons . 5. Yet, the 4d orbital electrons are lost first before the 3d ones in a reaction? 6. "' Internal conversion "'is a radioactive decay process wherein an excited orbital electrons of the atom. 7. D-block elements are unified by having in their outermost electrons one or more d-orbital electrons but no p-orbital electrons . 8. D-block elements are unified by having in their outermost electrons one or more d-orbital electrons but no p-orbital electrons. 9. Backbonding, or the transfer of ? orbital electrons for the fluorine atom is not required to explain the polarization. 10. Most s-block elements are highly reactive metals due to the ease with which their outer s-orbital electrons interact to form compounds.
