Class 11 The P-Block Elements MCQs with Answers

Class 11 Chemistry MCQs Elements in which the final electron enters one of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells are referred to as P-block elements. Because a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals, each of which can accommodate two electrons, there are a total of six groups of p-block elements in a p-subshell. As a result of their tendency to lose an electron, P-block elements are usually bright and serve as excellent conductors of electricity and heat. Gallium, for example, is a P-block element that possesses some remarkable properties of elements.
