Prediction of block, group, period of an element based on electronic

configuration
i. Prediction of block
If differentiating electron enters into
a) s-subshell  s-block
b) p-subshell  p-block
c) d-subshell  d-block
d) f-subshell  f-block
ii. Prediction of period
Maximum value of principal quantum number in the given electronic configuration
of an element indicates the period of that particular element
Example: Scandium- 1s 2 2s 2 2 p 6 3s 2 3 p 6 4s 2 3d 1
Here maximum principal quantum number = 4
Hence period = 4
iii. Prediction of group
For s-block elements
Group number = No of valence electrons
Example: Calcium- 1s 2 2s 2 2 p 6 3s 2 3 p 6 4s 2
