Chemistry · s, p, d and f block elements

The position in the periodic table to which and elements belong to

The position in the periodic table to which \( F e \) and \( Z n \) elements belong to

  • A. Alkali metal
  • B. Alkaline earth metal
  • C. d-block
  • D. None of these

Step-by-step solution

Iron (Fe) and Zinc (Zn) are both transition metals, which are characterized by having partially filled d-orbitals in their atomic or common oxidation states. They are located in the d-block of the periodic table (Groups 3 to 12). Alkali metals are Group 1 elements, alkaline earth metals are Group 2, so they do not match.
