Given below are two statements. Read the statements carefully and select the correct option.
Statement I: p-Block Elements comprise those belonging to Group 13 to 18 of the modern periodic table.
Statement II: p-Block Elements, together with the s-Block Elements, are called the Representative Elements or Main Group Elements.
-
A.
Both Statements I and II are false.
-
B.
Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
-
C.
Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
-
D.
Both Statements I and II are true.
Correct Answer:
D. Both Statements I and II are true.
Explanation:
Both statements provided are accurate regarding the organization of the periodic table. Statement I is correct because the p-block consists of the six groups ranging from Group 13 to Group 18, characterized by the filling of their outermost p-orbitals. Statement II is also correct as the s-block (Groups 1 and 2) and the p-block (Groups 13 to 18) are collectively referred to as the representative or main group elements, distinguishing them from the transition and inner transition metals. Since both assertions are factually true, the correct option is D.
