Which of the following elements is not a p-block element? (2022)
Step 1: Understand the periodic table. Elements are organized into blocks based on their electron configurations.
Step 2: Identify the s-block elements. These are found in groups 1 and 2, plus helium.
Step 3: Identify the p-block elements. These are found in groups 13 to 18 of the periodic table.
Step 4: Look at the elements given in the question: Sodium, Boron, Carbon, and Nitrogen.
Step 5: Determine the block for each element: Sodium is in group 1 (s-block), Boron is in group 13 (p-block), Carbon is in group 14 (p-block), and Nitrogen is in group 15 (p-block).
Step 6: Conclude that Sodium is the only element that is not a p-block element.
