IMPORTANCE OF THE PERIODIC TABLE AND THE S,P,D,F BLOCK
The periodic table is important because it provides a great deal of information about the
elements.
The periodic table can be used to experiment with properties of elements that have not yet
been discovered.
Helping scientists in conducting various experiments.
Helping to obtain historical information.
This provides important information used to balance chemical equations.
By looking at the periodic table , a person can find out how many electrons the element
has and how much it weight.
If someone unsure of what substance they have , they can look at the atomic structure of
the substance and compare it to the information in the periodic table.

Importance of s,p,d,f blocks in periodic table
The elements in the long form of periodic table are classified into four blocks.
They are s, p, d and f-block elements
S block ;-The s block contains the elements of the fifst and second categories.
The electronic configuration of group 1elements is (……ns1).
The electronic configuration of group 2elements is (…..ns2).
All are metals except H.
They are soft metals.
Has low melting and boiling points.
Generally they form ionic salts with nonmetals
It has a low ionization energy.
Solid at room temperature.
Elements with s block allow duplication of genetic information.
They are important components of intracellular and extracellular fluids.
P block ;-The element consists of six categories.
Most of p-Block elements are non-metals.
Generally they form covalent compounds and form salts with halogen alkai metals
they have high ionization energy.
The aqueous solutions their oxides are acidic in nature.
Boron is used to increasing the hardness of steel.
Aluminum instrument coils are used to protect iron cable.it is also used as a reducing
agent.
As semiconductors, germanium, arsenic, silicon, and gallium are used.
Carbon and its compounds are used in a variety of applications.
Boron is used in aircraft as well as bulletproof vests.
Boron compound, is used in the glass and pottery industries
D block ;- These elements is located between s-block and p-block elements.
All these are metallic in nature.
It is tough and has high density.
They have high melting and boiling point.
They shows variable oxidation states.
They form colored ions and compounds.
Metals are in high demand.
Titanium is used in turbine engines, aviation, and marine equipment because it is
lightweight and corrosion resistant.
Titanium and manganese oxides are used to make dry batteries.
Most of the elements act as catalysts.
F block ;- f – block elements are also called as inner transition elements. They are:
Lanthanides and actinides.
F-block elements are complex and heavy metals.
They have high melting and boiling points.
F block elements show different oxidation states ,f block element block elements may
likely form complex compounds.
F-block parts also have magnetic properties.
Lanthanide alloys utilized for the creation of instrumental steels and heat resistance.
Commonly used in many lanthanide lasers.
